Hi everyone, I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant, and being a teacher, I need to submit my maternity leave forms very soon. I'm due towards the end of July (2 days after term finishes). I would just be interested to hear how far in advance other teachers starter their maternity leave. Touch wood, apart from some anxiety caused by losing my first pregnancy, things have been going ok so far (touch wood) and I have been well (again, touch wood). I am a full time primary school teacher with a class of 31 Year 5s, and am shattered in the evenings, but ok so far during the day. I realise that in summer I'll (hopefully with all being well!) be a lot bigger and more uncomfortable from the heat. I'm not really asking for specific advice as such, and I know every pregnancy is different, but I'd just be interested to hear when other teachers chose to start maternity leave. Thank you!
