hi

i am planning on 9 months. i dont have a job to go back to though. dh said he doesnt want me to have to go back to work if i dont want to he is happy for me to stay at home and have babies lol. however i know in 9 months time when my SMA has run out he will start stressing out which in turn stress me out and i will end up getting some kind of a job just so he will chill out and it will make my life more eaier. so i would say 9 months lol xx

I would like to take the whole year, but we'll have to assess nearer the time to see if we can cope without my wages for the last 3 months.

i had planned to take the normal 9 months but i ended up stopping at 26 weeks, and i was back at work last sunday when Lana was 8 weeks!

I'm planning on taking just over a year, think it works out as 49 weeks maternity and then 6 weeks of annual leave to take. I didn't want to go back until after LOs first birthday- so hopefully she'll be here before 18th April!

10 months, but only cos the Christmas holidays start when I get to 9 1/2 months. I am "going back" on the first day of the holidays but will really be returning to work 2 weeks later.

think about 10 months, maternity started 1st March and not due back til 3rd January, though am hoping to do a 3 day week if the funds allow

One year. I wouldn't dream of going back any sooner!

I'll only be going back part time too
