I went on maternity at 5 & 6 months pregnant with both girls. With Gemma my bp shot up and my job is very physical so I left at 5 months so I could concentrate on getting my bp under control. This pregnancy with Gemma being so young I left at 6 months because I needed time at home to rest and with Gemma. Its been great!! I highly recommend if you can afford it to take time out and concentrate on yourself before bub arrives!
