26 weeks & maternity leave on the mind

I am 26 weeks today and have been thinking about when I should go on maternity leave! Originally I was thinking of working right up to the weekend before my due date (as I’m due August 6, a Monday), but the closer I get and the more I think about it, I am thinking I will take an extra week and leave the week before at 38 weeks... We will be officially moving into a new house the week before that (although starting to move in slowly prior) so I feel like it will be good to prepare and be able to “nest.” I also don’t plan on going back to work after so don’t have to worry about time, only that I won’t be earning that extra weeks pay and will have to start using my maternity leave pay (which I get 3 weeks of) earlier.

When is everyone else thinking of going on maternity leave and why? I’m sort of torn if I should just suck it up for the extra week, but it already seems so far away!
