I'm working till the 25th Sept and I'm due the 13th of October. I havn't been in my job long enough for maternity leave so I have to resign :( hoping it's not too hard to find something when I'm ready to come back to work!

I'm a receptionist, 26 weeks, and will be taking a 6 month leave on the 9th of October and I'm due on the 23rd. We will be very tight on money but I don't want to be at work when my water breaks and I choose 6 months because they are crucial for baby and dna mommy to bond if I could take a year I would. I think u will be fine at 36 weeks or 37 weeks.

I'm working until I go into labor.  But that's money driven.  We can't afford for me not to if I'm physically able.

I'm planning for maternity leave for when I go into labor. That way I can use all my time for my little girl and for myself to heal up. :)

Try to hold on in there and if it gets really bad have a chat with your midwife or GP as I know your work has to accomodate your needs and provide different job role if you are unable to do what you doing now, but I am not sure if that is only when you or a baby are at risk. X

I want to keep my maternity leave for after the baby is born so I don't plan to start my leave until I go into labor.

I am 25+1 and planning to go at 36/37 weeks, but working as a waitress (7hr shifts) and it is absolutely killing me, so might need to reconsider:-/ x
