Hi All,

Just being nosey really!!

I am 28+2 and will be finished in 5 weeks!! Woohoo!! Everyone keeps saying this is dead early because I will only be 33 weeks!

But the reason is because I am actually being made redundant on 31st December anyway, so I am using all my holidays for the year in August and mat leave will automatically start on 1st September while I'm off. This way when they give me my pay off in December they will have had to may be the maximum mat leave before I go! Am being crafty!! LOL.

Am I going to be really bored though....hmmm. My thinking is that this is my first baby so get as much rest in as I can befor emy life changes forever!! lol.

Hope you are all well today.xxx

Well I hope to work till 36 weeks and maybe 35 if I still have a weeks leave to take. I work in an office and only a 15 tram ride away so its ok but come Sept we go out to school 5 days a week doing big immunisation sessions....lugging vaccine and paperwork..Im sure Ill be pretty big and tired by then, Im pretty big already at nearly 19 weeks.

I want to be prepared mentally and do some natal yoga and meditation, plus get things ready around the house so Id love to finish anywhere from 32 weeks. Im having 9 months with bubbs. My first

39 and a half weeks..... would rather have the time off once the baby is born than waste it sitting round the house pregnant. Done that before, it's very boring.
