Ladies - question; how many weeks are you planning to work until... I was thinking week 38 but am struggling now at 31 weeks, but not sure what is normal time to go off..?

I have to use all my holidays before I go on mat leave so I'm finishing on 14th May and baby not due till beginning of July. my official mat leave starts end of june. I booked down to work till 38 weeks with my first but he came at 37 weeks so I have a feeling this one may come early too!

It's a toughie..!! Like @cwev I wanted the time with my baby rather than before, but living in Essex and commuting to Oxford Circus is taking its toll. I am starting Mat leave on 22:06 due 26:06 but have a weeks leave booked, thinking I may take another week before so i finish at 37 weeks... See how I go... Only problem is as I joined this job less than 6 months ago I don't get maternity pay, only the government maternity allowance which pays less in a week than I get in a day 🙈 it's tough... Thanks ladies 💋😘

My maternity leave starts at 38 weeks but I have 2 weeks holiday before so leave work at 36 weeks! ☺️

you could always decide on a date to start your leave and then add your holiday on before that? X

I wanted to work as long as possible but I think it depends on your job. I left at 30 weeks as I was a cleaner and a nursery nurse both quite physical jobs and with spd I ended up crying every day with the thought of going to work. X

My leaving date is the 5th June ... I'm due on the 6th! I'd rather spend my time off with my baby than waiting for him to arrive!

Same with me @emlz-grace don't want to sacrifice time with the baby but I am out the house 60 hours a week + I have to get a train and 2 tubes to work... It's tough.. I may use some of the annual leave i have this side of my maternity leave opposed to before I come back xx I

The way it works where I work is the more you take off before the less you get after. I'm struggling too and I'm 31 and start maternity leave at 38 too x
