Don’t just plan maternity leave around your due date – babies don’t read calendars 📅. Think in layers:
✨ *Best case*: you work right up to the date you’d like.
✨ *Earlier*: if you’re tired, unwell or baby comes early.
✨ *Later*: if baby is fashionably late and you’ve already clocked out.
Having a flexible plan saves stress and awkward work convos, and means you’re covered whichever way it goes.
