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

Initially I wanted to work right up to my edd date, but my gynae issued 2 weeks of HL as I needed bed rest. I didn't share any leave with my husb, and I'm glad I didn't. you will need all the maternity leave you can get and even that won't feel enough
