January Mom's!!

How soon are you going on maturity leave from work? When is a good time to pack the overnight bag in preparation for labor?I'm 34weeks1day and I am  working and still haven't prepared my overnight bag yet. I'm unsure as to when I should go on maternity leave although my back kills mebbut I'm trying to tuff it out being that I'm a single mother without  financial support. It really ***** being the bread baker and winner but I have to do what I have to do.

I've also cut back on hours. The fatigue is coming back with a vengeance. I'm 31 weeks and work at a daycare, with 2 year olds. I'm high risk with high blood pressure & gestational diabetes. I haven't really planned a time to start my leave, just seeing how I feel. I wish I could start now, but I don't want all that pressure on my fiancé.

I am due January 10 and going to work until I go into labor. I have had hours cut because I am limited on movement and lifting but it makes time go by faster when you have work schedule to revolve around. I work about 25-30 a week. Good luck :)

I'm due January 10 & going on leave this Friday because I can barely walk anymore. I'll be packing our bags within a couple of days & installing his car seat next week.
