When did you go on maternity leave?

[FlyingSoap]

My role isn’t too physically strenuous but can be full-on and is people facing.

I’m wondering if I should work as late as I can (so that I can afford to stay off longer with baby) or if I should go off earlier.

How far along were you when you finished & did you use annual leave to finish earlier than your official mat leave start date?

Would you change what you did?

I finished 4 weeks before my due date. And what a great 4 weeks it was. Relaxed, prepped mentally, treated myself to some reflexology sessions, and generally lay about the garden. It was summer the weather was great. Baby came 2 days after due date. I'd do this again.
