My first child I went on leave at 37 weeks but I had a much more physical job. This time I will work until I feel like I go into labor. I get 12 weeks FMLA and I will have a month of PTO.
i took off at 32 Weeks... it was too much on my body and couldn't take it anymore.
Till i deliever or doctor tells me i cant work anymore! Im 33 weeks now! Just gotta keep going!
I'm working until I deliver but I only work a few days a week.
Wow only 12 weeks, but I understand money is a necessity
I get 12 weeks at most. :( I wish it was longer here in the US. I would love to stay home with her for a year. Hubby can pay for us but its more comfortable with 2 incomes.
I had to start my maternity leave at 30 weeks due to doctors orders but I would have loved to work up until my due date
Mine starts in 3days I'll be 32wks+2days then, but I live in the UK, they give us up to a years maternity leave, and my job is really active I'm just dead on my Feet. Goodluck!
I finished work beginning of May but my job was happy with me taking work without pay until my disability payment.
Disability is covered 4 weeks out from delivery.
I'm glad that I took off work to relax and have some me time before its go time!!!
It depends on when you can afford to take of work. I'm lucky not to have to work but its important to do what it best for your health and your family.
Mine starts when I go into labor.
