Maternity Leave before EDD

I've been asked whether I will take maternity leave earlier than my EDD to rest. Just wondering among mummies, what may be the pros and cons? And is it necessary to take a rest before the delivery? Thanks!

For me, i wanted to rest and slow down so i took a combination of half day leave and unpaid leave for 3 weeks before my edd.
