What is wrong with me? this is my last week at work....i finish up on saturday, then i have 2 weeks booked as holiday time off then my maternity leave kicks in!!

It has come around soooooooo quickly and im genuinely scared
I've worked full time continuously for 13 years so to suddenly get up and not have to go to work is going to really freak me out!!

Im worried that i will get bored as i dont know many people where i live to go and see etc. If i do want to see any family and friends i have to go through a 2 hour expensive journey involving 2 boats and buses etc which will probably be impossible for me to do further down the line on my own.

I still have my step sons to take to school/pick up etc and housework to keep me going a bit but i get frustrated when i cant do something which i could before so am worried ill push myself too far at home.

Does anyone else feel this way? or have doubts etc or worried they will get bored? im bad enough when i get a weekday off work!

It'll be different when rice grain is here as i can do more then but ill have up to 9 weeks of this possible boredom.
What has everyone else been doing?

sorry hun but i cant wait for mine i will only have 5 weeks tomy self if baby comes when its meant to xx

Im with you on this one Sonny! I was looking forward to it, but after working nonstop for the last 15 years, Im already dyin out of boredom..Maybe I should enjoy it before she comes..but I find it hard to wind down

I was well freaked out when I left work on Saturday.. I felt all confused..

Like you Sonny I've worked full time since I left school which was 10 years ago, so I kinda feel lost and a bit rubbish now that I don't have to get up and get ready for work..

Not in a million years did I think I'd feel like that though.. I shocked myself lol

I can't wait for mine to start... still got another 5 and a half weeks to go yet though!

i felt exactly the same when i went on my maternity 2 weeks ago cos i love my job so much and it was like a social life for me aswell i met alot of good friends there but luckly my closest friends can come and see me as dont live too far but i was really emotional when i left, ive been off 2 weeks now and its gone soo quick i cant beleive it you will prob find things to do, each day ive been really giving my flat a good clean which has kept me busy by the time ive done that and had a bath and cooked dinner my partner is home from work , i found i got used to it after a few days it was a shock for me too so dont worry too much hun by the time u know it ul have a lil baby to keep u well occupied xxx

I knew what you felt a couple of weeks ago, it was a really scary thought after coming to work every day to not have to do that anymore.

However, Im in pain most of the time, getting to/from work is difficult and I just can't wait to finish.

Snap cant wait i have got 23 working days left have some holidays to use upxxx

I'm the exact opposite, I am looking forward to maternity leave. Some of my co-workers drive me insane and I can't wait to get away from them for 6 whole weeks (maybe a lil longer). One lady that sits next to me does not know her inside voice and is super loud. I just want to tell her to shut up because she is so loud I can't even hear myself think. If you are looking for something to do, try taking up scrap booking or some kind of hobby. I plan on doing this for the baby. Once that little one gets here, you will have your hands full. Enjoy your maternity leave.

do u only get 6 weeks in us off then xx
