I just would never want to go back early......I'll suffer now and not go back until after he is one. Luckily I am a teacher though, so my holidays start June 28th

I'm planning on taking off starting July 1st (due August 1st) so I can get everything prepared. It's our first so I have a feeling i'm going to be FREAKING OUT when there's only a couple weeks left lol. I plan on going back to work October 1st, but only part-time, like 4 hour shifts 5 days a week so I don't have to be gone from her for long.

The longer I work the longer I get off after the baby is born. I'm very lucky as I work for the nhs and have 2 years leave plus we saved during our long ltttc journey so I'm taking a year off.

Our school year begins the first week in September (after our Labour Day weekend) and ends at the end of June.

Wish we had the same holidays here! That sounds amazing! We run from Sep to Jul with this year finishing the 23rd of July and starting the 1st of September.
Britain has the shortest summer holidays in Europe and our education minister wants to cut that back even more. Seems the government won't be happy till kids are at school 9-5 (though most are already with clubs) with the standard 20 days off a year, prepare them for work when they're primary aged, perfect!

We are required to have 950 hours of contact time with students. It's a great job with kids, the hours are pretty good with all the holidays the same.
Don't you just love when the government makes choices like that without consulting those who actually teach??

When DD was born, I went out on leave 2 days before my due date. She was 8 days late, so I sat around at home with nothing to do for a week and a half!
With this one, I'll probably go on leave a week before my due date. However, I'm only covered for 12 weeks of leave, so the closer I go to my due date, the more time I'll have after she's born. My job is sitting at a desk in an airconditioned office. At home I have a toddler who wants to run around and climb all over me. I love her to death, but if we're talking about what the more relaxing environment for me is, it would be my office, lol.

I have my maternity leave written down as july 18th which will be 37+4. I am getting nervous now that I wont be able to last that long as im only 25 weeks and I am so exhausted-physically and mentally, and overwhelmed. I am a teacher too but I teach in the toddler room for ages 15 months to 2 years. Lots and lots of physical work, and patience which is hard to have when you are so tired and in pain. But another part of me just thinks im being being a wuss and women do this all the time! Either way I am going to stay as long as possible to have as much time as possible with Maybel.
When I come back from maternity leave (Oct 18th) I will only be working 2 days a week (6-8 hours) so I can be with her most of the time and no childcare costs as my mom can watch her those two days a week.

Is anyone experiencing extreme pressure? Maybe it's a twin thing, cause it seems so early. The US I had on Friday, showed baby A's head is down quite low but it seems each day, it just becomes more and more painful. There is a fair amount of pressure yes, but right from hip to hip is so sore, like feels like I've done 1 billion sit ups. Is this strange or par for the course?

not sure if it's the same, loro, but i'm having pubic bone pain. it feels like i rode a bike for 3 days straight - those bones you sit on when you bike ride. i got into my car as i normally would the other day and thought my pelvis was going to break/crack the pain was so immediate and sharp. but regularly it's just sore sore sore. sore rolling over, sore standing up from sitting, etc. - but not sore externally, my lady bits are ok.
