Im due on Jan 10, 2011 kelan kaya ako mgfile leave ko??

[magz019]

Sis, you can ask your OB when is the right time to file it.
At first, plano ko tlaga sagarin, hanggat di ako naglabor di ako mag leave.. Kaso when I brought up the topic with my OB she suggested to do it 5 days before my EDD.
Kelangan raw ng enough rest kasi nakakapagod talagang manganak..

I'm 24 weeks preggo and I'm work at night, I plan to work hangang kaya sayang kasi yung ML gusto ko sana sulitin pag dating ni baby (sayang rin yung money). My sister has 2 babies na and ang sabi niya sakin is to ask for my OB parang notification na I should take 1 month medical leave (before I give birth), tapos talk to the HR and tell them na my ML should start on the day I give birth, pwede daw yun.

Nung kay Cali, start ng ML ko was the day I gave birth na. buti naman. hindi nasayang ang araw kakahintay hehe Due date ko was supposed to be Sep 3. Nung Aug 15, IE ako ni doc to check my condition, hindi pa daw. I decided na mag sick leave na sa work ng Aug 17, para din makapagpacheck-up and ultrasound as per OB's advice kasi we need to monitor yung amount ng amniotic fluid ko. Pero nung 8am ng aug 17, my water bag broke na. My husband and I went straight to the hospital. At yun, I gave birth 7:8pm I was 37 and half weeks nun. 

Dito kay Cassie, my due date is 1Nov but we are planning to have scheduled CS by 23Oct. Pero depende pa rin sa condition ko once i reach 36 weeks. 36 weeks na ko sa Monday, but I feel I can still go to work. Balak ko magwork pa till my birthday sa 20 Oct.

me naman due date ko oct 10..pumapasok p rin ko hanggat kaya ko. im on my 38 weeks / 3 days na. sayang kc yung time. pero pinapakiramdaman ko rin behavior ni baby. lately, meron signs of contraction n pero hindi masakit. lapit n kaya un? or thats what they call Braxton Hicks contracts? bka sa week 39 nalang ko mgleave. un nga lang what if after due date pla ko manganak, sayang yung time n nkatambay ko na supposedly spent pag anjan n c baby

nkararamdam nko nun parang may pilay sa singit pagtayo ko pag matagal galing upo..though nawawala rin agad. ska mabigat n rin sa puson, d n rin tulad dati ang lakad ko. mabagal nko walk..nagtatagtag naman ko sa mall after ofis. lagi n rin tumitigas tummy pero hindi consistent..nawawala rin

im due on nov25 based on my LMP, i plan to take my ML sa nov10 kasi full term na si baby ng nov4, padaanin ko lang yung undas para double pay haha =). and andami nagsasbe hindi na daw ako aabot ng nov25. oh well, im still fixing things dito sa office like my Philhealth. sabe kasi ng payroll namen kunin ko yung COC ko sa Philhealth sa kanila ng nov15 kahit naka-ML na ako.

Same here, yan din ang nararamdaman ko palagi at ang hirap din bumangon, masakit sa singit at 'v' area. December 9 pa naman ang due date ko pero feeling ko mapapaaga. Ayoko din mag ML ng maaga kasi alam kong mabo-bore lang ako sa bahay. Kahit super bagal ko na maglakad I still force myself to walk and commute to work everyday kasi yun na lang ang exercise ko.

hi mga sp moms!

im  a newbie here.. i gave birth last march.. i took my ML one week before..  i gave birth at 26th , took my ML 20th. it was unintentional kasi im expecting my delivery april .. then nung 26 schedule ng check-up ko.. my ob advised na mgpaadmit na .. i was shocked kasi i dont feel any contractions pa naman pero 3cm n daw ..

Kaya siguro i advised na mas maaga ang ML mas mganda kasi you wont expect sometimes yung early delivery

[Caddin]

Mas maganda na one would take the ML kapag malapit na talaga, as in 39th or 40th week na para mas mahaba ang panahon with baby. 
Pero depende din yan sa sitwasyon kasi yung iba high risk ang pregnancy.
Ang balak ko is ubusin muna yung VL ko since mafoforfeit na sya by January.
Eh December ako manganganak so sayang naman kung di ko magamit.

I'm on my 38th week and I still go to work. I'll even go to work tomorrow. I filed ML na last week but I didn't specify the covered period. Sabi ko to follow na lang. I'll inform them when I go into labor. I'd rather spend my ML with my baby than spend it at home eating and sleeping. saka yung travel ko to work ang aming exercise and lakad session ni baby. baka mapatagal lalo panganganak if I rest. Medyo active kasi lifestyle ko e before and during pregnancy.

my husband and his family is forcing me to go on ML.  ayoko kasi 34 weeks palang ako accdg to LMP, and 36 weeks accdg to ultrasound. so malayo pa talaga. instead of having the 2 months spent with baby eh iikli sya kung kukunin ko na ngayon. nahihirapan na kasi ako maglakad ang sakit sakit nung area sa may pelvis ko at vagina.  i was told its normal naman, that the baby is just settling down pero matagal pa due talaga, sarado pa cervix ko, and puro braxton hicks lang ramdam ko. mahirap lang talaga matulog, umupo, maglakad, tumayo, any position na more than 5 minutes masakit na. 

ngayon ayaw nila ako abutan sa office, im confident naman na kaya ko tiisin pa eh, kaysa mabore sa bahay at magpataba tapos sayang yung time na instead with baby. im getting depressed kasi di ako kinakausap ng husband ko dahil ayaw ko sya sundin. pahihirapan ko pa daw sya sa paghatid sundo sakin. nakakalungkot kasi yun na nga lang responsibility niya eh. kinukunsinti pa ng family niya tinatakot na if maglabor ako sa opisina sa makati med ako dadalin (tapat lang kasi ng office) at lalaki gastos bigla.

paano kaya to? im worried that my depression right now is stressing my baby, iyakin ako kasi wala talaga ako makausap about this, i dont want to tell my mom or anyone na kilala ko kasi papangit lang lalo tingin nila sa husband ko. hays.

^sis buurp, kung di naman high risk ang pregnancy mo, ok lang naman na hintayin mo yung due date mo... At maski na malapit ka sa Makati Med, kung ayaw mo don, eh di hindi ka nila dadalhin don (unless may emergency). Gaano ba katagal ang byahe frm your office to your preferred hospital? Share ko lang sa yo. Yung officemate ko sa Mandaluyong inabot na makaramdam na manganganak na. Guess where ang hospital na pinuntahan niya? Pampanga pa! Eh kasi don niya gusto manganak eh. Bakit ba sila mangengeelam? 

About using your ML too early, di ba it's better na you spend it with your child rather than stay home na wala ka masyadong gagawin? Yung isang kilala ko, napaaga ang ML niya. Eh nag-overdue pa sya don sa due date niya. Kaya tuloy less than 1 month lang niya natutukan baby niya. I think your baby needs you more in the first 2 months of life kasi nag-aadjust sya...

[Mommy_MM]

^^Sis buurp,  I felt that way sa panganay ko, kaya nag leave ako agad thinking that I probably  would give birth that week kasi talagang parang nakaharang na yung ulo ng baby  which made walking very difficult for me, para akong mapapaanak sa hirap at nahihiya na rin ako sa mister ko sa kakasundo sa akin, kaya I then decided to take my ML, but sadly, it took a month pa before I finally gave birth at ang tagal pa ng labor maybe because I took my ML  too early.

[buuurp]

oh my a month? wag naman sana ganun ako katagal. inip na ko, nainip din ba kayo noon? naiinip ako na natatakot.

mga sis right now i took an unpaid leave. until january 12. (ang hirap ng nightshift at commute tapos super heavy ang work!) naurong nanaman EDD ko january 12 from january 25th. sa january 2 start na ko ng OB ko painumin ng eveprim...yung office pumayag na ang ML ko will start on my EDD. January 12.

im crossing my fingers sana madali lang ako manganak at sana sa 12 talaga. nabigla tuloy ako di ko pa naaayos ang phil health ko!

[BabywantsIceCream]

I just filed my ML for January 3 (sinulit ko rin yung paid holidays) due date ko is Jan 15. What the company did was they gave me pa an extra 2 weeks for Maternity Vacation Leave so total of 2 months and 2 weeks. Nilagay nalang nila yung extra 2 weeks before my due date tapos magsstart yung Maternity Leave ko on the day I give birth para masulit daw. Depends sa company yung MVL yung iba kasi nagbibigay, yung iba wala, but try asking the HR about it baka meron sayang rin
