When should i start taking leave before EDD?

Hi mothers, May i know when do you think is a good time to start taking leave before EDD/planned delivery? I want to maintain healthy final weeks and get ready for labour, but yet want to spend my maternity leave as long after baby birth as possible! Please let me know your thoughts, and what were your considerations? Thank you!

I never take leave before EDD as I was feeling ok and still able to work. I feel better to save my maternity leave for later as baby need checkup, vaccinations etc. Depends on you actually.
