When are you starting your mat leave?

FTM. It's still pretty early for me, but I'm trying to plan. I'm expecting twins and likely to be offered a planned birth at 37 weeks. I would like to have as much crossover with my cover as possible - but will I also go a bit mad sat at home for weeks before babies arrive? Is 35/36 weeks cutting it fine?

My job tends to expect people to announce their pregnancy with all their dates already planned, but reality is still setting in for me and it's hard to get my head around everything!

My partner is an identical twin, and we just found out we are expecting twins!! (DCDA, we don't know much more atm as it was an early scan)

We are thrilled ofc, but know that we will get a LOT of comments and eyebrow raises when people find out. Even growing up my partner and his brother got a lot of 'wouldn't it be crazy if you also had twins?' comments. I'm also petite, so I know I will get a lot of 'you'll be huge!' etc. After an early pregnancy loss last year, we just want to enjoy the pregnancy and prepare for our rainbow babies, any advice is really appreciated. 😄 ❤️ ❤️
