I worked until 37+5 but it's personal preference. I would have been so bored.

I finish next Friday and I'll be 32+2 days. I had my daughter at 37 weeks, and only finished at work at 35 weeks with her, so only had 2 weeks to gets things sorted which wasn't enough time, and I may be getting induced early this time aswell, so I ain't taking that chance again. also I'm in pain everyday with SPD, so I can't wait to finish next week! you finish when your ready hun xx @jemmalou

no it's completely up to you x

I left work yesterday at 32+5, I've got 3 weeks annual leave to use and then I start mat leave a month before my due date. It's your personal choice! xx @jemmalou xx

Nope I went 10 weeks before, I had to use my holidays before I went on maternity leave

way too early !!

it's all gd there as I accrue annual leave wile I'm of so still get the full 52wks and works out i get all of 2017 of with my new baby tehe x

but yeah the boredom might get to me lol

thank you, I am meant to go at 32wks but I've been plagued with a monstrous migraine for nearly 3wks now and I work nearly 2hrs away in London, think il have a chat with my manager when I go back Wednesday x

I wouldn't consider going that early purely because I'd get bored & then wish I had something to do lol. But it depends on each individual & how your feeling. And same as @gillz_90 mentioned the longer you leave the longer you'll have off after baby. 10weeks may not seem long now but once babies here it goes so quick!

No, it's just what you feel is right @jemmalou I'm taking mines from 35 weeks but that was the midwife that suggested that as I went in to labour 6 weeks early with my daughter than had her 5 weeks early!! Most mums take it as late as they can so they have later off with baby!! But it's just what you feel best with x
