Everyone encouraged me to push my maternity leave as late as I could in order to maximise time with baby after and I'm lucky to be working from home so much easier to do with no commute etc., but the last week or two I'm really tired and feeling really guilty for how little work I'm doing, definitely not my full hours. I'm booked to just start maternity at 39 weeks but should I pull it earlier? I'm not super tired so don't really want to just be sitting round the house waiting but I'm definitely on 2/3 or 3/4 work right now. Really hoping I can pull myself back into it over the next few days but am trying and struggling, and my work are really great employers so I don't want to take the mick! Plus I'm already insecure that my maternity cover is going to do a way better job than me and my performance right now is not helping with that.
