When did you/are you taking Maternity leave?

Hi Kirsty,

I left work at 36 weeks. I had a desk job but I wanted time to just to relax and prepare final things. I really enjoyed the time off as I was quite tired by that time and really wasn't motivated to work any longer. I read books, slept when I felt like it, met friends for lunch etc.

For my second I think I will work as long as I can (I only work 3 days) because working is easier than running around after DS.

I'm due in mid feb and plan to work until the end of Jan (approx 2 weeks before my due date). I only work 2 days at the moment so I think I will be ok. Of course, it all depends on the weather and how I cope with it! I'm also staying that long because I am expecting a resignation which means I will have to train that replacement as well as my replacement before I can go.
