Maternity Leave before EDD

I've been asked whether I will take maternity leave earlier than my EDD to rest. Just wondering among mummies, what may be the pros and cons? And is it necessary to take a rest before the delivery? Thanks!

I'm taking 3 weeks before EDD, firstly because it's really getting tiring going to work with my big tummy, and wanted to get some good rest before baby comes. Secondly it gives more buffer time in case colleagues taking over my stuff has any enquiries, at least there's still time to help clear stuff, the last thing I want is my colleagues to look for me for work stuff during my confinement.
