Teachers! When did you start taking maternity leave?

Hi there! Just wondering as full-time Teachers, did you work up till the very end? I am struggling so much in my third trimester that I think I need a break… when did you start taking leave and how did you manage? Thanks!

hi mummy. maternity leave only starts the day your baby arrives, anything before that is hospitalization leave. when are you due? you can let your gynae know about your struggles now and you’d probably be put on HL till your baby arrives. however, i’m also aware that some gynae doesn’t issue HL unless you’re really hospitalized. it really depends on your gynae.

Take care mummy. Try to maximise your leaves as much as possible. You’ll need the maternity leave to recuperate.

you can try asking your gynae for HL.. otherwise you can start your ML 4 weeks before EDD
