I do think is very much an individual decision since pregnacies vary from one to another!

My maternity leave starts two days before my due date but since I have to take all accrued holiday before I can take maternity leave, I am due to finish at about 37 weeks.

Work are flexible and I hope this is manageable, but I guess I will see nearer the time!!

This is my first and I plan on working until 38 weeks if possible. I'd be bored at home if I left much earlier than that, especially if baby decides to come late. I'm waiting until I'm about 30 weeks to make the official decision however because things could easily change between now and then.

I hope so as am working right up to my due date lol! But i'm in an office job like you, so isn't tooo bad... but thing is, we have to give 1 months notice of when we're going on leave, what if i feel terrible? i'll have to put up with it for a month?

But i really want to save my leave for when baby's here... One of my biggest worries is my waters breaking at work! i would be so mortified!

i know maybe75 thats wat im dreadin too. i dont wanna be massive and awkward in work though either lol

2 weeks should be plenty! im sure they wud be more understanding if u needed off asap??

I'm wondering if i'll get to the point where i can't reach my keyboard... can just tell i'm going to be huuuge! I guess if you're really bad it could just be counted as sick leave?

I've been already thinking of ways to stop it being embarassing if they do go.... coat on back of chair so i can just chuck it on and no one would see 'wet patch' lol! Or perhaps could get some tena lady...
