How many weeks pregnant were you when you started mat leave?

[ilikeyoursleeves]

Just trying to work out what to do. I was 34 weeks PG when I left to have DS but not sure what to do this time!

When did you stop & why then?

36 weeks becuase I was just ready to leave my job - had had enough! I took some annual leave through, so official leave didn't start until 38 weeks.

DS was 2 weeks late and I always wish I had spent those 6 weeks doing less - I was constantly making an effort to go out and do things, and spend hours a day cleaning (I don't think it was nesting - I just had more time to notice the mess!) when I should have just lazed around!

This time I will be working until 37 or 38 weeks, depending on if I have to have an elective section.
