When did you ladies go on maternity leave?

I’m a third time mom I feel like with my first two I worked almost up until and actually took off maybe 2 weeks before my actual due date. That was about 5 and 4 years ago lol so I’m a little hesitant… my first kid was 5 days early and my second came 9 days before my due date.

My last appointment was on the 2nd (June) and I was told she’s head down which I figured due to the movement and pressure I had going on in my pelvis. This time around I’m excited because I have not the best job but better than before with good benefits. I have 12 week leave and a possible extra 6 weeks on top of that.

I just wanted a little advice or insight on when you ladies stopped working. I’m currently 32 and still pushing but I don’t want to push it to far, thanks in advance mommas 🫶🏾

P.S. My due date is July 31st
