I'm due 2nd July with my first baby. I'm currently due to finish work 15th June. I need to decide this week if I want to finish a week earlier by using a weeks holiday. I did want to keep the holiday to add to the end of my mat leave and have more time with the baby. I will be taking a full year plus 3-4 weeks holiday at the end not including the extra week that I'm not sure when to take. I get 6 weeks holiday a year and I'll be going back 4 days a week. My dilemma is that work aren't very flexible and there is no option to reduce my days in the last few weeks by using holiday if I'm struggling. I will have to do 5 days a week 9 hours a day (desk work). I might be able to do the odd 8 hour day and I'll get time off for any ante natal appts but that's about it. I've been feeling really well this pregnancy with no complications. I have plenty of holiday so I'm lucky but I'm worried that if the baby comes late I'll be off for a month and feel like I wasted my holiday. I'd really appreciate any advice - sorry for the long post but I wanted to get all the facts in!
