[LucyMarie1991]

They allow you to go 2 weeks overdue because they may be off on the dates.

I think 38 is good. That's when I'm taking off of school , we'll luckily that's when the school year ends , my last day of school I'll be 38 weeks 1 day lol.

[smackems]

[smackems]

I wouldnt allow them to let me go that much over due thats ridiculous lol id demand them.to induce me

[HannahJohnson]

But what if u end up going two weeks past your duedate

One of the girls I worked with worked until the baby came. She went into labor while at work actually! It's a personal preference. She was dilated for 3 weeks before labor. I'd say trust your instincts and body and take leave when your body is telling you to!

I've decided to take my maternity leave at 39 week's, but as I get further along I will discuss with my Midwife if she thinks it would be better to finish work. If she agrees I will ask her to sign me off

[smackems]

hmm okay

Some people dilate for weeks before going into Labour. Discuss it with your Dr at your next appt. If she doesn't think you should be working she can sign you off on forced mat leave. And your employer will have to comply
