(Potentially) relevant information:
First baby, 22 weeks pregnant. Due at the end of February.
I teach KS1 in a 'challenging' school, full time. No extra responsibilities as such. I have a minor subject leadership role but nothing too time consuming.
Commute is 30/35 minutes each way and I drive. (Does there come a point when driving is uncomfortable/worse, impossible?)
It sort of makes sense to start maternity leave officially the first day back after Feb half term so I get paid (fully) for that week off. That means though on my last day in school I will be 38 weeks pregnant.
So, what do you all think?!
I know various things could mean I have to stop work early but basing this on the fact that at the moment I feel generally well except exhausted tired and no problems in pregnancy so far.
