Yasmin Bibi 14 February 2022 at 6:23 am 14 February 2022 at 6:23 am 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 Yasmin Bibi 14 February 2022 at 6:25 am 14 February 2022 at 6:25 am <p style=”text-align: left;”>I forgot to mention I mentioned to my manager i was pregnant when i was around 8 weeks due to Covid and working front line i wanted to ensure she was aware for the safety of my child and me x</p> Viewing 2 reply threads → 4th Trimester (Post birth)
