When did all you mommies go on leave from work? My doc hasn't said anything about me going on leave to relax and prepare myself for the arrival of my daughter. I will be 40 weeks on Wednesday and pick my induction date on Friday if I don't have her by than. My work doesn't offer maternity leave (I work for a cleaning/painting company) and I just can't do the cleaning anymore cause it just takes everything out of me.
@mommagotbump16, that's what I was trying to do was wait as long as I could but I just can't do it anymore.
I went until 39+1 before I couldn't keep up. Then I went out on leave. Trying to wait til the last minute again to save my maternity leave.
Can I just call and ask for it? I have been having hard contractions but they aren't close enough together for them to keep me. I just don't want to go into labor at work. @mommy2730
I started my leave last Friday. I was 35w5d. All I did was asked my Dr for a release form at my last appt.
u don't have to go through ur Dr. just tell ur job, when and make sure they know in advance
