Hi Girls i'm just wondering when you went on, or are planning to take your maternity leave. I'm hoping to leave at 30 weeks but i feel abit bad for leaving so early! So just wondering what you lot decided to do :D xx
 
Im leaving in 2 weeks so ill be just about 31 weeks :) but have got 3 weeks holiday to take so officialy not until 5th septmeber i cant wait i feel really lazy because i only work 3 days but stuff it lol ! enjoy !
 
don't feel bad at all, if you can do it then go for it! I was originally planning to stop at 37 weeks, and at about 35 weeks I thought I was going to have to finish early because the heat was unbearable but I ended up finishing at 37 weeks, but because I felt absolutely fine (apart from swollen feet which were just annoying rather than painful) I've been working 3 days a week, and I'm intending to do that now until I get any signs of labour, just because it means I can save my maternity leave weeks up, and I'm just using annual leave for the 2 days a week that I don't work. People think I'm crazy (including my MD) but finances mean that I won't be able to take my full entitlement of maternity leave, so I want to save as much as possible until baby is here :)

if I could have done it, i'd have finished at 30 weeks without hesitation :haha: x
 
Oooh thanks girls, i'm not coming back to this job (they don't know that though) because of how they have treated me throughout this pregnancy so i can leave whenever really just thought it might be abit lazy to sit on my bum for 10 whole weeks!! I work in an office full time but it's starting to get painful to sit down all day my bum hurts :D and if i stay any longer i will have to cover someone elses job for a week which i really don't want to do so maybe i should leave at 30 :)

The only thing bothering me really is i wanted to stay another 2/3 weeks so i could get my last pay cheque of the month and then leave but my partner wants me to leave at 30 and got to let work know by the end of this week eeekkk best get deciding!
 
i finished sunday gone,29 weeks. just trying to get my maternity sorted out because my employer chucked me around and i have to wait 2 month to wait for any sort of money, big hassles but hopefully your employer was a bit nicer and sorted it for you. i can see myself turning lazy but i probs wont because im moving into my new flat on monday and have decorating and stuff to keep me busy :) xx
 
I left at 35 weeks but I found the last few weeks soo hard, so I would leave as soon as you can :)

I left at 37 weeks, but it depends on how ur feeling and if u feel u can work
xx
 
I was supposed to be leaving at 29 weeks, but my boss could see I was struggling, hours were awful and I was just getting really stressed out with it, he let me leave at 28 weeks, which was good for me, because Im not going back either!

That's the thing i don't know how i'll feel a 30+ weeks, only 25 atm, when did you lot start struggling at work? The only reason i want to leave at 30 weeks is so that i don't have to cover reception for a week whilst two people are absent, it will mean only me and the boss in the office and i don't want to be put under any pressure xx
 
I wanted to work right up but because of back and hip pain I started at 32 weeks :) xx
