Hey ladies,
Hope everyone is doing well.
Although I’ve still got a way to go I was given my MAT B1 form today and its got me thinking about maternity leave 😯
I was just wondering how you decided when was the right to finish work?
I’m a carer so on my feet a lot at work even though I do the less manual stuff now. I’m already feeling pretty tired as my sleep isn’t good at the moment with my hip pain. I obviously don’t want to go off to early as it means less time off with baby but don’t want to give work an unrealistic date either.
Any advice would be grateful x
I’ve got a desk job so obviously not as tiring as yours. I knew I wanted to work as late as possible so I started maternity leave a week before due date but also took a weeks holiday so finished work two weeks before. Baby was nearly two weeks late so was a bit hard spending all that time at home but I slept and rested a lot so that was nice xx
Thank you, my consultant has said il probably be induced around 38 weeks but I was thinking to try and carry on until a few weeks before then. Hope you and your little girl are well xx
I totally understand that. You just want to carry on for as long as possible so you can spend time with baby. I think you can give a date and say it’s subject to change.
We are fine thanks. She had two hours at nursery today ready for next week 😬 x
Gosh the time seems to go so quick, how was she at nursery? X
She was absolutely fine just went off and played. Could barely say goodbye xx
