At what point can you

Take maternity leave? Maybe a week or 2 before your due date... I am almost 33 weeks and am getting very uncomfortable. Sitting all day is not really working out for me and not to mention that I only sleep like 2 to 3 hours at night, major indigestion. Oh the joys!

Quoting Oh Babyshit:“ Take maternity leave? Maybe a week or 2 before your due date... I am almost 33 weeks and am getting very ... [snip!] ... not really working out for me and not to mention that I only sleep like 2 to 3 hours at night, major indigestion. Oh the joys!”

youre entitled to a certain amout of time under FMLA... its for any medical stuff, not just pregnancy, etc..... you can start it whenever you want, lots start a few weeks early.

I was a sub-teacher and i stopped subbing 2 weeks before having my son. One of the teachers at the school taught until the day before she went into labor.

You can take it whenever you want but then that cuts into your time with your baby after the birth, so it's all just a trade off! I stopped working last Friday...I went through a tough time but I actually got more comfortable as I got further along, maybe that'll happen for you?
