I work in a sit-down office job, so I plan to work up until 39 weeks, take a weeks holiday and then start maternity from my due date (or the day before it - basically the last possible point). However, currently at 33 weeks, baby is still very much head up and has been comfortably in the same position for weeks. I know he's still got lots of time to turn, but what would happen if I were to be penciled in for a c-section with regards to my maternity? Would I then have to take it from the c-section date? What if I was scanned on the day and he's turned so the section didn't go ahead - would I still have to take maternity from then, or could I cancel and go back to my original plan?! I know it's only really a week or so in it, but am just curious (and clueless!).
Hopefully it's all moot anyways and he'll be head down very soon!
