Maternity leave

I'm thinking of using my annual leave up this pregnancy (2 weeks before) I worked until my waters broke last one and my son arrived 2 and a half weeks early 😊 will hopefully be more organised x
My loose plan is to use annual leave to finish work 2 weeks before due date. Then have 6 months off in total. We wanted me to take a year but SMP is going to make that unaffordable.
My plan is to use 4 weeks annual leave from September to October and then full year mat leave, use my holiday and unpaid leave to get me to Jan 27 and then go back at that point - financially it’ll be tricky but as long as my husband is working and I’m careful it should come together - we’re also trying to save as much money as we can before hand just in case xo
I’m having this debate as well, want enough time in case she comes early and bought 10 extra days leave to tack onto the front. Hoping for a month before due date (I’m at risk of pre-term) but it’s all bit of a guessing game really! Sod’s Law I’ll go into labour 2 days after I start my leave 😂😂
I’m due 7th October but found out I’m pregnant with twins so will likely come 37 weeks or before. I work in a school so I think I will just take maternity leave the beginning of September ☺️
