I'm Currently Feeling:  | I finish in 17 working days and i'm due 12 July! I hadn't wanted to take all this time off beforehand but my office is relocating and it involved a lot more travelling so i decided to take the full 11 weeks maternity beforehand your allowed and 3 weeks annual leave. It will still leave me 27 weeks afterwards with bubs. (hoping to be a SAHM anyway hehe) |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I'm due 15 August and plan to start Maternity Leave on 4th August and take one or two weeks annual leave before, so probably leave mid July.
Just a warning for those of you who are tagging Annual Leave onto the front of Maternity Leave like me - If you give birth early (say during your Annual Leave weeks) your Maternity Leave automatically starts that day and you would lose all your hard-worked for Annual Leave. That's why I'm starting official Maternity Leave 2 weeks before and hoping LO doesn't arrive earlier than this! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I'm the same as Becky. I'm due 15th August. I plan on taking the last week of july and the 1st week of August as annual leave (not allowed to take more than 2 weeks anyway) then i'll start my maternity leave. Am hoping LO doesn't come early. |

| Thanks for that tip!! I'm due August the 9th and nothing is set in stone!! I wanted to finish work two weeks before making the 25th my last day. I'm hoping to go part time when I go back so I would restart in the new year. Luckily my holidays are valid until end of February so I could tag them on to the end of my maternity leave!!
Fingers crossed!! |
