Started my maternity leave today...

[Hannah :)]

...And it feels so goooooooood!

For the girlys that are working when are you starting yours?

I started at 35weeks with my little girl but I'm so much bigger and still in quite a lot of pain so 32weeks was enough for me

I'm on sick leave just now with SPD, so my mat. leave kicks in at the first week of July when I'll be 36 weeks. If I wasn't off sick I'd definitely be finishing just now!!

I had to finish at 29 weeks with my daughter due to pre eclampsia, I loved maternity leave so much I never went back love being a stay at home mummy

I'm looking at 38 weeks. I'm due Oct 16th and i've got hols booked from 1st-19th to use them up and then mat leave kicks in Oct 22nd so my baba may have been born before my mat leave starts x

 

[popps12]

im due october 2nd, so im thinking about starting mine a month before LO is due as im on a chair now at work so hopefully it wont be too hard, and more money in my pocket, the later i stay means the later i can have leave

 

[emmaxlouise20]

i started st 34 weeks, though i really wanted to stay until 38 weeks i just couldnt do no more, some days i beat myself up cos i didnt stay till 38 weeks like i had planned x

enjoy it xx

I'm thinking of starting mine at 38weeks, but very much depends on how I handle things as my job involves a lot of carrying, standing and bending down which Im already finding hard!

I have no idea! I'm really struggling atm, cus I started my new job whilst I was pregnant. I only told them I'm pregnant today though!
I'm on my feet constantly, an 8 hour shift with 45 minute break, so for 7 hours5minutes up to 7 times a week standing is killing me! Might ask to switch to part time though as it may work out better! Although then, I may not get enough hours and struggle with money and stuff:/
Not only that, but every day I've been at work at around 9.30 I'll have spotting, so I'm concerned it may be due to the amount of standing or something, I can't really get a chair either as I have to go back and forth from my till my entire shift:/
My baby girls due 14th November and I'm hoping to go on leave around October time!
Xx

 

[Hannah :)]

Yeah tbh I've been off a lot anyway, I was off for 3weeks, 1week sick and 2weeks holiday cos I just couldn't do it anymore cos of my separated pelvis but went back this week cos they really needed me.
Being a stay at home mommy for 9months is amazing and its even better this time round cos little Chloe to keep me company!

Also don't overdo it girls No shame in saying enough is enough and your employers have to accommodate you
Its a good job I left today I couldn't get behind my checkout and was going to the loo like every half hour lol

[wanaBmummy]

Well i'm the deputy manager soon to be manager in a nursery so as well as looking after children i also have office work to do so constantly on the go. I do a 8.5 hour day where i'm supposed to have a half our lunch but usually i've got too much to do so only have 10-15min. I'm doing fine atm and i just figured i can do more office than childcare the closer i get if i'm finding it hard but tbh i think i'll be fine. I'm not finishing any earlier either way lol so if i'm not it'll be a case of getting on with it xx

yeah i know what you mean but we've got a large group of 3/4 year olds leaving for school in August so no one potty training atm. Although there will prob be 2 this summer who will be. As of Sept however majority are 2 and under so that should be fun lol But i'll be going on mat leave shortly after so they'll all be that bit older by the time i come back xx

Best feeling ever isn't it?! I started mine at 33 weeks but I was only part time anyway.
