Maternity leave 😍
Show your support
This pregnancy I went at 39+2 (last day at work) and 39+5 (maternity started) I'm still currently pregnant! With my first I went at 37 + 5 and was off a whole month before he arrived!
@Paige twinning 🥳 ahh jealous I’m going on the 9th but with the bh shouldn’t be too horrendous. Just trying to get away with the bare minimum now lol
@Holly ohh wow 😦 fair play for working so far up to your due date I am donee lol xx
@Emma good luck lovely! 🤞🏻🥰
I remember my manager kept expecting me to care about things they were happening like two months down the line, cmon mate I’ll be long gone by then why do you think I care?! 😂
Lol I'm only 18w 3d and I already feel like this 🤣 However I'm planning to work as long as I can until the birth to maximise my time off with baby, as not sure I can afford to take a year 😪
Sorry just noticed this is in May babies, hope you don't mind the September gatecrash! 😬
I'm 36+2 and meant to be working until the 2nd May when I'll be 37+4, so only really an extra week but I literally cannot be bothered and tempted to just jack it all in now 😅
@Fay loool honestly! Like I’ve got bigger things to think about next month like giving birth
@Amy loool girl I felt like it as soon as I saw two pink lines on the rest if I’m honest
@Katie the struggle is real 🥲 not too much longer for us now xx
@Emma I'm quite Lucky in my workplace that you work as a "team" so I was getting all the admin type jobs! I'm also at home with a 18M old which can take its toll more than a work day! 😂
@Holly oooh I can imagine! Was just speaking to my mum saying I don’t know how the girlies with toddlers are coping you lot are strong! Xx
I was due to finish on the 9th but as I feel so worn out and with a toddler as well, I’m now finishing on Friday 🎉 I also felt the same as you and just though f*** it! 😂 x

34 +6 and I finish next week 🙌 2wks annual leave before starting mat leave on 19th. Cannot wait! Dx
@Emma genuinely - I just felt incredulous like I’ve got an actual baby growing inside me and it’s all I can think about!! 😍😍
Am I the only weirdo who genuinely does care still 😂 I keep being like oh don’t forget about this in September and everyone is like wtf go away you won’t be here. My last day is 38+1 then a week of annual leave before maternity
@Sophie I don’t blame you! Starting to wish I was going a little earlier now 😭 xx
@Emma lovely! Not much longer to go 😩 xx
@Fay definitely I just want to do baby things now not worry about metrics, numbers or targets 😭 x
@Sarah haha I guess it’s good to be like that though! Xx
I’ll be 35 weeks tomorrow and my last day is this Friday, I’ve been counting down the days for weeks now and feel exactly the same as you lol! Plus I’m really struggling with back pain and just getting around in general this week so I’m sooooo ready to leave and get ready for baby’s arrival, I physically don’t think my body could take any longer being at work so I’m glad I only have 2 days left! Xx
I work from home as a communication specialist it’s a desk job. My health and my job type made it possible for me to work until I had him. I worked a full day then went to the hospital after to get induced at 6pm.
I’m 36 weeks tomorrow and last day is Friday! Got 2 weeks of annual leave booked first though so officially my mat leave starts when I will be 38 weeks + 1 day on 9th May. I honestly can’t wait I am exhausted!! X
Also 34 + 5 days and boy am I done🤣 I finish on the 30th!
