My Ob likes his girls to finish at 36 weeks unless or ealiter for twins or if you are experiencing a medical problem ( high blood pressure etc) .. So my last day a work was full of tears! I was out of there for 1 year.. YEAH... and my due date came and went .. i was induced 1 week over...

At the time when i was sitting around at home and at the shops spending money i wished that i was still at home.. but after i had my DD i was glas that i had been at home for 5 weeks before she was born as i was able to do a great clean of the house and be a good wife and really indulge my husband with dinner on the table each evening when he got home ( this did not happen when i was working! )

Every one is different , most of my friends want to work as long as possible so they stay at home longer before going back to work after the MAT leave is over..
