When should i start taking leave before EDD?

Hi mothers, May i know when do you think is a good time to start taking leave before EDD/planned delivery? I want to maintain healthy final weeks and get ready for labour, but yet want to spend my maternity leave as long after baby birth as possible! Please let me know your thoughts, and what were your considerations? Thank you!

I took 4 weeks HL prior to EDD due to asthma. Private hospital gynae wld be more willing to give though. So if you're with private gynae, you may want to to ask if he can grant u any HL so tt u don't have to use ur maternity leave earlier. Some of my friends still managed to get a week or 2 before EDD, they informed their gynaes tt they had very bad ache/ swollen feet or shortness of breath.
