When do you finish work?

[Welsh_mum2be]

I finish on Dec 23rd, 6 weeks, or 18 workimg days......lol yes i am on countdown. I will be 35+4

 

[princess2406]

I finished at 27wks+6, sick leave from then until 21st nov when 4 weeks annual leave will start then mat leave starts 27th Dec so I will be 36 weeks x

 

[lisanicole]

I am going in to be induced on Thursday so my last day of work will officially be tomorrow!!!!!!! I decided to take Wed off to mentally prepare.

 

[kali131]

I'll be taking my leave either at 36 or 37 weeks

 

[Beccagal]

Going as long as I can up to 40 weeks.
I find the daily distraction really helps.

This has been a tricky one for me as I have a very physical job working with horses so not only is it hard outdoor work, but the hours are also very long and unpredictable! I have booked to start my leave at 36 weeks, but my employers are aware that I may have to start sooner if I'm struggling!

 

[Sealgirl]

I'm going at 38+5, I need the money, unfortunatley, otherwise I'd go at xmas. I've been signed off sick just now, 4 weeks in total, so I reckon that will make the last few weeks easier as I've had a break. Plus I'll get a two week break at xmas so I'm hoping that will make me mentally strong enough to work right up. (If physically exhausted!) x

 

[Celesse]

I left at 24 weeks, which was 5 weeks holiday and start of mat leave/pay at 29 weeks. Not going back to work and little difference financially when not paying child care. Can't believe I've been off for 10 weeks already.

 

[mamawannabee]

I will be working until delivery. I had planned on leaving at 36 weeks but at this point, I am just as uncomfortable whether I am laying on the couch or on my feet all day at work so I figure I'll just keep working. That way I can spend as much time as possible at home with LO after birth. We only get 12 weeks mat leave, then my job is no longer promised to me, even though it is unpaid, so I want all 12 weeks to be with LO.

 

[misstrouble]

I will finish on Friday at 35 weeks then have 3 weeks a/l so official mat leave starts at 38 + 3. Have two children already an really struggling to keep up with them!!

 

[roomaloo]

Until i physically can't do the job anymore, though i've just been finding recently it's triggering terrible stitch like/stabbing pains which take my breath away and i have to breathe through so i'm not sure if i'm maybe overdoing it!!

 

[emsie_123]

32+5, in 5 weeks. Got a few weeks off during christmas and new years as I work in a school, then leave when that's finished

 

[esmemuppet]

I went at 35 weeks...3 hour commute, v busy job (doctor) house calls etc and quite bad SPD...great to be off now though!x
