ML too early

Hi mommies, This is my first pregnancy and i started my ML at 36 weeks reading from MOM’s suggestion to take a month before edd and now i am regretting it because it feels such a waste, knowing i have less time spent for my NB. I should have asked for HL before taking ML I am currently going 39 weeks now and waiting for my NB to arrive. I feel so sad at the thought of only 3 months being with my NB before i start working again. Anyone share the same experience as i do? And how do you cope going back to work, being away from your baby? 🙁

Aww .. I actually ask my gyane, when I should start taking leave . I wanted her to give me hospitalisation leave but she didn’t offer , so I was pai seh to ask explicitly for it . I initially wanted take 2 weeks before my EDD but she mention since I WFH, 1 week before is good enough even if I want work till last day of EDD also can. So i just took 1 week and 2 day ahead To my gyane, if I have nth to do I will be overly anxious , just curious if u discuss with your gayne beforehand ?

I think gynae also do plays a part on it. Like my case, my gynae issued to WFO “MC” as I am having some fainting spells at 2nd trimester. Luckily my company accepted it.. My gynae also issue me HL 2 weeks before my EDD cos she thought my baby coming soon (dilated) but my baby just happily enjoying herself in me throughout e whole HL.. 😅
