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!
I stopped work at 27 weeks as i was also studying full-time and something had to give. It was nice as i was able to really concentrate on being preg and taking care of myself. I was also doing hypnobirthing so i was able to really concentrate on that..... BUT things were quite tight financially. My job was also one where i was on my feet. Had i had an office job of some description i would definately have stayed until much later. Things do get a little boring and as mentioned by others think of all the lovely things you can buy bubby.
