Do you need to keep busy? I spent the last chunk of my mat leave watching boxsets on Netflix.

How about making things for baby? Do you crochet? Four months is plenty of time to make a blanket or two. If you're new to crochet Bella Coco on YouTube has some brilliant tutorials.

Have a holiday, enjoy the quiet.

ive made a long list of ‘stuff’ to do while on maternity leave, nothing too strenuous, most of it is boring stuff like ‘sort out paperwork’ ‘organise underwear drawer 😂’ things that you don’t have time for in normal day to day life or that you’ve been putting off for ages. i plan on doing one or two things a day and chilling out for the rest! granted i’ll only have 6 weeks maternity leave before baby, not 4 months...

De-clutter the house.
Watch any films you want to see at the cinema before the baby arrives.
See friends as much as possible/spend as much time with your OH as possible.
Maybe go on holiday if you can? Even if it’s just a long weekend city break.
Organise the hospital bag and baby things closer to the due date.
Read any books you’ve been putting off.
Watch any Netflix box sets you have
Start a pregnancy blog? Even if it’s just for yourself.
Do some gardening if you have one.
Freeze some meals a couple of weeks before the baby is due.

Sleep, never stop sleeping. Get enough sleep to last you for the next year. And go to the cinema.
