Okay really getting stressed by work and want to take maternity leave early but don't know if I should just bear with it; when do you all think is the best time to start?

• 32 weeks
• 34 weeks
• 36 weeks

see if you can put all yr holidays together and take all of them at 35 weeks and start marternity at 36 weeks or take 2 weeks of as holiday at 34 weeks and another 2 weeks off at 35 weeks at least that way you can finish early and look forward to having that extra month when baby is born, if you go back to work, that is what i have done...

I voted 32, mainly because I am in a similar situation to yourself. I only work part time, and Im not entitled to maternity leave..but Im finishing up next week or the week after. Ive just got to the stage now where I need to get away from there, its too tiring, and I have muscle problems at the front of my bump, with work taking it out of me, I dont think its really helping. If you have any holidays etc, take them first, but you need to put yourself and your baby first.

i put 36wks although if baby comes at week 40 then i wouldnt want to leave until maybe 2wks before.....
