Taking leave the days leading up to the due date..?

Hi mommas, writing because I decided to take 4 days of leave leading up to my due date in a few weeks with the hopes of getting a note from my OB to stay home after my due date. Now I am kind of second guessing if I should have done this...?? I guess I’m worried I’ll get bored or wish I saved the days. My command is letting me work half days anyways at this point so I’m halfway regretting the decision to take leave.     

I have about 37 days of leave saved up and was planning to hoard it to tack on after maternity leave and for terminal leave (getting out in January).  

What have you ladies done? Maybe I’ll have the baby a few days early and it will all be a mute point.
