Maternity leave

Hi ladies,

So I’m wondering when to start my maternity leave.

I’m a self employed hairdresser/ beauty therapist who works from home and I’m due mid December.

Obviously a lot of clients are hoping I stay working until the baby pops out but I’m already tired at 5 months 🤦🏻‍♀️ then I have clients asking if I’m going to come back just Fridays Saturday when I’ve had the baby which is quite insensitive. Imagine them being told they had tor return immediately after the baby was born ‘but it’s ok it’s only part time’ 😂😂.

So I was just wondering is anyone else in the same situation and what they are doing? X
