God knows now, was planning Mid October, but due to work related illness/stress and management, would love to leave 2day, hence i have not gone in and wont be going in for the rest of the week.

My manager even said to me yesterday "Your looking well, it's all that sunning your doing in the garden when your off sick" I was like "i dont even have a garden" so her reply was "You might aswel take early maternity leave the amount of sickness you have"

nah take it easy you deserve it

I tried to find another job whilst preg and it was a no no!!! My friend also got laid off by her agency whilst preg and she has found it very very difficult to find work!!! I know the sexual discrimination act is on our side.... but these companies have a way of making it look like they are not discriminating!! But they clearly are!!

i took just under 3 weeks before my c section date. I needed that time to get the house sorted, get myself sorted and get the place ready for baby. Ohg - and to rest ofcvourse!! I've been really busy though actually and am so glad I had this time to get my head and house straight. I needed a mental break between working me and mummy me.
I am lucky that I get a long time off work though so could leave when i did.

I was intending on working up to 36 weeks but my back is killing me already and my boss is a cow so I have changed it and I will be leaving at 32 weeks but a couple of weeks are my annual leave.
Can't wait, I am counting down the days!

I'm finishing on 10th August, our maternity leave always starts on a Sunday, so I will be almost 38 weeks. But am lucky as I have almost 4 weeks holiday I can take beforehanf if I need to. Its so difficult deciding when to finish because you just dont know how you are going to feel, especially if like me this is your first baby.

I stopped working almost 2 weeks ago, but I did temp work so not entitled to maternity leave, just quit working when I was ready to quit.

I'm hoping to work to the very end, at least to the begining of Jan (I'm due Jan 5th). I figure why waste my mat leave before the baby comes. Of course, the Dr. could take me off sick, but that would be ok cause it wouldn't be mat leave, it would be sick leave
