Hi I was about 33 weeks along when I went on maternity leave with my first son, as I just found it difficult holding down a full time job which involved spending lots of time on my feet. It was bliss just chilling out at home planning for things to come!

I was 38 weeks when I finished work I booked one weeks holiday then my maternity leave started in week 39. I actually gave birth the day I started Mat leave so it was lucky I left when I did!
This time I plan to work untill 37 weeks.

To be frack with you, it depend on your health. If by 7 months you are getting weak and weak every day, make sure you start your Maternity leave 6 week before your Delivering Date.
And if you are strong enough, I mean you did not have any complain like swallow of legs, by 8 months you can start your Maternity Leave, but then when you are in the house, make sure do an exercise like stroling, please do not sit in a place.

You are allowed to start maternity leave 11 weeks before the baby is due that's what I did. So that made me 29 weeks pregnant.

I was only 29weeks with the first because I had problems with my pelvis and pain. But I went to 34 weeks with the second and had 6 blissful weeks at home. In hindsight though, I coul've gone another 2-3 weeks at work because the last 2 weeks at home did get a little boring but i did get to nap a lot!
One of my collegues finished work on the friday and had a scheduled c-section on the monday. If i knew my date I wouldn've taken at least 2 weeks off before baby but she's a workaholic!

I'm 37 weeks and am going to work until the end of next week ( in theory) I would go crazy sitting about at home and prefer having the time off after the baby's born. Saying that it all depends on your health.

I was 32 weeks, I would have liked to work on longer, but being a Head Chef in a busy hot kitchen I think I was becoming a danger to myself and others so I had to stop.....and now I'm 35 weeks and soooo bored!!!!

I had mine all after the birth! Was working the day I had her - although she was early. Having said that, I had a sit down job and was training people so no real stress.
