Answer

My due date is Nov 16th but my c-section is scheduled on Nov 10th. I'm planning on Nov 7th being my last day before my mat leave. I work a desk job, so this shouldn't be much of a problem.

Answer

I am making my last day October 6th and I am due November 22nd. I need the time off as I am moving cities and don't want to be worrying about work. I work in social work with youth so it can be pretty high paced some days. I've also had some family issues and want the time to destress and prep before the baby gets here. I'm in Canada if that helps so I'll be taking EI about 6 weeks early.

I've got a week of annual leave next week and then I'm on maternity leave until next June. I'm due 6 November but my job has a long commute so I've decided to take an earlier maternity leave so I can rest and get the house ready for the baby. I'm in the UK though.

Answer

I'm in the uk and my last day at work is 29th September at 33.5 weeks, I've then got three weeks holiday that I've saved so officially I begin maternity leave at 36.5 weeks (due date Nov 15th).
I have a desk job but long commute and chronic health problems so felt like this was the best time for me to go when thinking about my health and coping. I'm like a zombie already!!! Xx
