I'm a journalist and web editor. I went on maternity leave officially at 38 weeks, but I had been working part time from home for a few weeks before then. I had planned to work right up to my due date, but my boss had gone away and left me in charge the department for a month when I was seven months pg and I was just exhausted.

I manage a team of project staff in the field of cancer prevention. My last day at work I was just shy of 38 wks. Bub arrived spot on 39 wks. I have 12 months off work.

I am an Early Childhood Teacher and went on mat leave at 34wks with DD and 32wks with DS. My job was (is) too physical and emotionally draining for me to go too long! As well as having a toddler to care for, it was just oo much!

I'm a secondary school teacher and originally planned to work till end of term (38wks) but saw the light and finished at 33wks instead due to poor sleep and general discomfort and exhaustion. Bubs arrived on the first Tues of the school hols so glad I had taken the time to get organised and have a rest. I have taken 6 months initially - but can't even imagine going back to work EVER and leaving my little man. I LOVE my job - but it doesn't compare at the moment!

I am a primary school teacher and I went on Mat leave at around 35 weeks with both......... I think that when I have a third I will work to 37 weeks, as I got really bored and antsy sitting around at home.

I work in insurance as a Case Manager. With DD I was requested to finish work at 34 weeks and DS took leave from 35 weeks. Next time, I may leave it later...if there is a next time!
