I work in an office sitting at the computer all day. I left at 36 weeks (it just coincided nicely with christmas) but worked from home right up to DS's due date. I found it really hard to sit at the computer for longer than about 10 minutes towards the end due to the pressure on my pelvis. When I have my next one I'll leave at 36 weeks again - no working from home!
I left at 30 weeks. Used 5 weeks of annual leave before maternity leave kicked in.
I'm a nurse & couldn't have worked any longer than that as I was on my feet 8.5 hours per day. I LOVED having 10 weeks at home, plus my DH took annual leave too so we some time together before DS was born (which was 3 days after EDD).
I'll be leaving work on the 28th of jan i'm due on the 30th of jan. I haven't been at my work a year yet and my one year anniversary is on the 27th of jan. if i last that long i'll be able to get 6 months half pay.
If not ill be going back to work really early as i need to pay the bills.
i planned on leaving at 34 weeks but due to an accident i had to leave at 22 weeks . I must say i do feel like a lady of leisure lucky for me i am in the banking industry and get 6 months at half pay. I do beleive everything happens for a reason though cause with all the time on my hands i have created my own party planning company and already have 4 demonstrators working for me. I dont plan on going back goodluck hun xx
