[quote=Anonymous]Hey LJ, great to hear your wonderful news. Pumpkin here. I specifically chatted with the midwife I saw about their diet. She said that it is there as a guideline, and if you got close to the diet 80 percent of the time you're doing better than most. Anyway, I felt absolutely comfortable afterwards. The midwife I met with was warm and helpful and not bossy at all. So I was probably worried for nothing.

How great to hear all of your tests went well! I'm sure that is a relief.

I took 6 months maternity leave last time, worked part time starting at 4 months but with lots of flexibility. I hope to do the same this year, though my leave will happen at a busier time of the year for my work, so it will depend partly on how easy this is to schedule. I work from home, and I insist on at least a minimum amount of flexibility through the first year, so I often have a day off here and there anyway.

I wouldn't want to go back, as a teacher, for just a short period of time then take a maternity leave. It seems like it would be easier all around, if you can afford it, to take the whole semester off if you can? It will be nice, anyway, if you can take that time! The first year is so much fun (and so much work). :)
