If your work allows, perhaps you can discuss with your boss to allow working from home in the week or two before you deliver? Then when you do go to Labour, the ML will kick in the next day.
Having said that, using some AL as mentioned by the other mother is a good suggestion too, if your work doesn’t allow WFH. Since you’re only delivering in June, you should have ample AL and child care leave for the rest of the year when you return back to work. Most companies want their employees to finish using their leave in the same year, so there shouldn’t be a worry that you’ll not have sufficient to use in the last 4 months of the year.
I delivered in March last year and worked right up till Labour. and after ML, cleared 1 day a week till October plus has balance to clear during Xmas period. Hope this helps with your planning.
