| I'm leaving at 32 weeks - I didn't fancy the commute into London any later than that in this heat. So only 2 1/2 weeks to go till I leave (scary huh!) |

And we don't get lunch breaks either which sucks, but I shouldn't complain; they've been good to me so far.
Mind you, I need a doctors certificate to work past 36 weeks so if my hip continues to reak havoc then I may not be able to work longer...
I'm finding it so interesting to see how each person differs in their leave, ranging from 29 to 40... What a range! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I'm officially going at 38 weeks, but have a weeks annual leave before that. My boss is changing my job role to a more dmin based one towards the end, so I can stay as long as possible. If I can't cope though, I'll just go a bit earlier. would rather keep my maternity pay for aftereards though. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | My last day is 18th July (36 weeks) - i'm using annual leave until 4th August when official maternity leave starts at 38 weeks!
I added an extra weeks annual leave on, was originally planning to go at 37 weeks, but I think she's gonna come early and I'm starting to get way too tired! |
