Officially on mat leave

Hello! My due date is the 30th and just started Mat leave too! Lay ins with a cuppa is the first thing, great way to start the day & such a nice change and possibly the last time for a while we will have this type of ‘chill’ I’ve also had a pedicure and my lashes / brows done ( not a priority ) but nice to have the time to treat myself and hoping will make me feel slightly more put together post partum and when the visitors arrive! Hope you get some time to enjoy your May leave before little one arrives 🥰

Hey, I’m due the same day! Whilst I’ve broken up from work (I work in a school) my mat leave doesn’t officially start until he’s been born. I’m just trying to keep myself busy more than anything else. I’m having my nails done today so they’re all nice and pretty and should last now until he’s here 🤞🏻 other than that I don’t intend to treat myself to anything else other than lie ins in the morning 🙈 I’m on get baby pit mission so I’m instead of treating myself I’m doing what I can to evict him 😆 xx

@Emily Ooh lovely to know your due date's around same period as mine :) I've never not have to work so I'm feeling a little lost like what should I do to treat myself - because there's loads I'd wanna do but unsure if my body could handle it lol. Like a day trip or something! Pedicure and doing brows sound like a lovely idea! Enjoy the remaining time too xx

I went for cake with a friend, walked with the NCT friends, sorted out baby clothes washing that hadn't been done, walking when it wasn't raining!

I went on mat leave and baby came the next day 🤣 I would have slept, watched loads of tele, gone for a massage, baked or batch cooked - literally just rest because I didn’t get the chance 🤣

I had a week of Mat leave before my baby arrived at 39w+2! During that time I went through Netflix to make a list for BF sessions, met up with some friends for lunch, little lie ins, postpartum items and baby shopping as a treat and washing beddings/clothes. Take it easy too! 😊

Pregnancy massage, walk or lunch with friends and family, cleaning 🧹🧼 washing baby clothes, I wanted to go swimming but I haven't managed that yet haha 😂

Spa day!
