Maternity leave

Also planning for an elective c-section 🥰
Planning on taking 3-4 weeks annual leave and then starting mat leave. My first was early so ideally I'd like a bit of time off before this baby arrives!
@Olivia Oh no!! 😟 How annoying that you miss it by just a week!! Employers really do need to step up. Hope everything goes well for you lovely 🥰 I’m so scared of the thought of a c section this time around!
@Ruth I think I’m being very optimistic that I will want to work up until 2 weeks before. I feel like I’ve already mentally checked out lol
I worked til 34 weeks last time and will probably do the same this time round. Having a toddler is so exhausting so I'll probably need some extra rest when he's at nursery. I'll also have a csection this time after an emergency csection last time so I want to make the most of that time before baby comes x
I’ve booked a weeks AL and then going straight on Mat leave the day before my due date. I’m only entitled to SMP as I miss been employed in my job for 3 years by a week which would have meant I’d of got 12 weeks full pay 🥲 planning on Mat leave ending 30th Nov & then using the rest of my AL for the year to take all of December off. My hols run Jan-dec so then will use AL for all of January!
