Have you finished for maternity leave yet?/how long have you got to go?

Today was finally my last day in work!🥳 (I’m 35 weeks and due 4th April) and although I originally planned to work right until my due date I decided to listen to what feels right for me at this time. I feel like now is the right time to go off… i work as a self employed mental health therapist and found that I could not concentrate the same due to energy and concentration levels etc. and it was starting to create stress/ raise my blood pressure. How long have you got left to go? Or are you already on maternity leave?

I’m not due to finish until 18th March but just found out baby is coming 3 weeks early! Think I’ll do another week then call it a day 😅

I'm due on the 4th also! Just finished my first week of mat leave and so glad I took it when I did! Body needed me to slow down x

Today was my last day at work, due 19th of April but I couldn’t be bothered to work anymore. I was getting drained. So going to get plenty of rest and plenty time to nest 🥹

I'm 34 weeks tomorrow (due date 12th April) and finishing work on the 13th March x

I’m due on 8th April and it’ll be my last day next Thursday! So ready to be off now and get everything ready for the baby

Ah, go you @Ceri ! I’m struggling at work as a lot to do and not too much more time to do it in. I’m due 9.04 and planned to work up until the 28th of March, but part of me is tempted to move that earlier, too. I’m very tired and not sleeping well at all, so that’s making it a bit challenging really. Sounds like you made a great call for you 🙏

Due 20th April and finish on 26th March. Xx

I’m a self employed sport physio and I’m due April 6th! Originally I wanted to work until full term, but decided to finish on March 10th at 36 weeks because it’s such a physical job and starting to struggle! Feel so guilty for not working my usual long hours and 6 days a week but also know I need to listen to my body and relax before the baby gets here!! Xxx

I’m having my section at 39 weeks, wc 31st March. Finish work a week today - so exhausted and ready to finish!

I’m going on maternity leave on the 4th. Due the 28th x

I finished last week I’m due on the 29th of April. I couldn’t bare it I’m self employed and my job is at times physical. I was finding it hard to concentrate let alone engage with my clients. I’ve done nothing but sleep this whole week haha

Due 22nd, my last day is 28th March. Can’t wait

I finish on the 21st March at 36 weeks and my c section is 11th April - 3 weeks to chill and nest! X

I’m due on 1st April and finishing work on 20th March xx

Due 17th (but got a gut feeling ill go slightly over), due to go on ML at 38 weeks on the 3rd Apr. Simultaneously can't wait but also sad to leave!

Im due the 1st of April, i finished Wednesday. I work in Tesco and tbh i havent got the patience for people any more. I thought i would go to 37 weeks at least but being irritated daily wont help start labour. Liking not having to rush to work or having to speak to people already 😂

I’m due 13th April. I have one more week after this week at work then 3 weeks of annual leave. Maternity leave officially starts after the 6th April x

I’m due on 4th April too but having a C-section in a few weeks. I finished up on 28th Feb and I definitely felt like it was the right time
