In Finland, the government will not allow you to begin your maternity leave any less than one month prior to your expected due date. Which means that every single expectant mother takes their last month of pregnancy off of work. Quite a different view from Canada, where most women I know, including myself, try to work as close to their due date as possible so that they can spend more time at home with the baby.
On the day where my sister Rose goes back to work for the first time since my nephew Jack was born, I officially start my maternity leave today.
It's a beautiful day :)
