Maternity help

[shann00]

This is my first baby.. I currently work as a Carer in the community so my job is physically demanding with long hours.. I was planning on going off on maternity at around 35 weeks😬 is this too early?
Anybody work the same job and have suggestions or when they went off?

Hi @shann00, we're just bumping this thread for you in the hope that some Mumsnetters will be along shortly with some advice.

I work in an office and started mine at 34 weeks and i needed to! 35 qeeks sounds ideal in you situation. Congrats
