Maternity Leave

Hi, congrats on the twins! With twins, your delivery is likely to be earlier than your EDD, so starting ML at 34-35 weeks would give you a safer buffer instead of waiting till 36 weeks, especially since you won't know the exact date until closer to the time. Since your work is desk-bound, you could potentially push it a bit later if you're feeling okay, but honestly with the unpredictability of twin pregnancies, most mums I know who carried twins just took it earlier and didn't regret it one bit. Your body will also be more tired carrying two, so factor that in when you decide. Best to check with your HR on the exact cut-off dates too, since they might have specific policies around multiple births.

Hi, there! You could try to get HL from your gynae in the 2 weeks beforehand so you can start your ML after giving birth 🤭 My job is very physically strenuous (infant care teacher) so I plan to ask my gynae for HL before I take my ML.
