Another question for teachers....
.... hiya.... hope your holidays are going well
Unfortunately for me I started back on Monday, and I'm knackered already!
I've notified my HR dept that I'm intending to start ML at 38+6 - for financial reasons (I can only have 6 months or so off with bubs, so I want my time off to be on 'baby' side of EDD, not 'pre-baby' side). But I mentioned this to two colleagues today both fairly recently returned from ML, and they both think I'm crazy.
What are you ladies doing, and what have you done before, if you're been-there-done-that mums?
Thanks xx

You kinda have to do whatever is best for hyou. What do you teach?
I decided both times to give a late date as I could always go early if I couldn't cope but couldn't really extend my stay at work. Abby was 9 days late so I got 3 weeks off before her arrival and that suited me perfectly.

I'm planning on going on maternity at end of the autumn term when we break up for xmas, although like others here my maternity leave officially starts on the 5th Jan (I'm due the 8th) so will get paid for the holidays . So I'll be 37 weeks when I finish. I'm desperate to go to that late for financial reasons although my head has said if I find it too much I can finish earlier. I'm just trying to make sure I'm really organised and plan lessons that involve minimal stress and movement from me.
I've had comments too but I'm just ignoring them!
