maternity leave

I found out I was pregnant two weeks ago by a test. I haven't seen a doctor yet but the app says I'm approx seven weeks pregnant with my first child. When do people usually go on maternity leave? I work two jobs and I need to give as much notice as possible... and could I go back to work sooner if I chose to? I need to work as much as possible.. thanks

I worked up until i went into labor and my water actually broke while i was at work. So I left work went home showered, packed my bags and went to the hospital, I didn't start having contractions until 5 hours later . But depending on how u feel towards the end some ppl take off two weeks before their due date
