Part-timers - When did you go on mat. leave with no. 2?

[sashaboo]

Think I've made up my mind about when I'm going to start mine (33 weeks - Christmas holidays) but I'm just being nosy!

36 weeks I think. Thought I'd give myself a month & then baby was over a week late anyway. Still, I have a friend who went into labour at 37 weeks the day after she had finished work. Grab it while you can girl!!!

I finished about 2 1/2 months before - which was great as ds1 was still at nursery for 3 days a week! So I got lots of rest, & was ready & prepared (as much as you ever can be!) for no. 2!

36 weeks for ds1 and 2 - seemed about right to me but was tempted to go earlier - make the most of it!

Thanks for your replies.

I was tempted to stay on for a bit longer but Christmas is such a convenient time to stop.

You've all convinced me to make the most of the time off particularly on the 2 days when DS (15 months) will still go to his childminder.
