You might be worried about announcing you’re pregnant or questioning, how long is the ‘right’ amount to take for maternity leave? What if you work for yourself? Help each other navigate this new journey here.

Hi everyone

I am currently 36 weeks pregnant i leave work on in 2 days to start my maternity leave! I worked as much as i could (part time) my plan was to take 2 weeks annual leave and then start my Maternity leave 1 weeks before due date so i can make the most of my time off! So far it has gone to plan unless baby decides to come early like my first child! – hope that helps x
