When is your OB discharging you from work?

Samiantha101

My doctor filled out forms, as requested by my employer, for my impending maternity leave, however they were filled out when I was 25 weeks along. She stated that the dates were tentative but wrote down a week before my edd. 

 

I have since switched clinics/doctors and have to have the forms resubmitted to my employer. Is a week before edd a common date to be excused from work for a non-complicated pregnancy? Is this something the doctor normally would discuss with me? I was so early in my pregnancy the first go-around, so I'm unsure what's "normal".

 

TIA
