How do you use your maternity leave?

I have to confirm to my company when I intend to start my maternity leave. I was encouraged by the HR (guy) to take it a week before the EDD and not to share any days with my husband as I will need all the rest I can get before and after. I was instead thinking of working right up until I get contractions (I'll request to work from home) and giving 2 weeks to the hubs so he can help out 1 week after the nanny has left and 1 week after I return to work. Would you have any advice please? Thank you. #1stimemom

have to clear my leave anyway, so took my leave 2 weeks before delivery. took my 2 months ml and ccl and 2 months again cause need to clear ccl or else forfeited this yr. provided your hubby will help and not like my friends who took leave and play with their hp only ...I rather use it for myself to rest more. my hubby is already those very hands on person but if asking him to take care for 1 week without involving me he will give up so I rather use the leave for myself haha
