teacher experiences with maternity leave in August or beginning of the year?!?!

What are your experiences with having a baby at the beginning of the year and taking maternity leave? Is it hard. I'm trying to have my 2nd and now I'm getting to where that could be a possible due date if I got pregnant. We have been trying for 6 months and I hate giving up just because that would be a difficult time.
