Feeling guilty about starting mat leave

I'm 33 weeks pregnant now and reallyyyyy starting to struggle - I can't sleep (bad back) and toss and turn all night. I'm going to end up calling in sick again today as I've been up all night. So I'm thinking of starting my mat leave at the end of this week, but that's still 6 weeks from due date, and if baby is potentially overdue that could be 7-8 weeks I'm sat around that I won't be with DD at the end of my leave.
Has anyone else done this and regretted it? I don't want to feel bad as once I've started my mat leave it's not like I'm going to be able to change my mind!

Thanks all :) I've called in sick today and will meet my manager tomorrow (he's very supportive thankfully) to discuss options. Really appreciate all the responses and advice though, I'm glad I'm not the only in the same position!
