When do you plan to stop work and go on maternity leave ?

[bakingpreggers]

I cant afford to take off.  Ill work until the little fella gets here.  I found out today that I only get six weeks.  I thought I had read in the policy that it was twelve.  Ill have to go back and look.  Im bummed.

I wasn't to sure when to start my leave but my boss keeps asking me when I plan on it and I don't know what to tell her yet because I can't predict how I will feel then lol I'm a cake decorator so I'm on my feet all day so I might stop a few weeks before my due date

I plan on working as long as I can before the baby arrives so I can spend my maternity leave at home with my baby. Also, as long as your doctor says it's OK you should stay active up to labor

Depends on if I'm being induced. If I am I will work til about 5 days or so before. If not, I guess I'll have to see. I'm taking 8 weeks of leave

With my first, I worked until 3 days before I had her because she was a 41 week scheduled induction. With this one I'm in school full time so I'll take the summer off since he's due a month after this semester's finals and return to school in the fall.

I don't know... I wish I could do it already though!! I'll probably stop working one month before due date. And you?

I'm in grad school, no maternity leave for me! I'm going to continue as usual up until my due date, and return to class and my internship 2 weeks after baby arrives. I really can't take any more time off than that, I'd get too far behind. Thankfully, 2 of the 3 classes I'll be taking this summer are offered online and my internship supervisor is extremely flexible
