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

Hi mommas, writing because I decided to take 4 days of pto 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 job 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 pto saved up and was planning to hoard it and tack on to the end of my 12 weeks paid maternity leave.

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

    Personally, I am saving all my days.  I would rather have time with my baby instead of sitting around waiting for her to come.  I feel okay, so it's not a big deal to me, but again, my personal choice was to save what I can.

    I was going to say, you have no idea when baby will come so as long as you feel able and comfortable going to work, you should :) a few days before baby comes is a nice time to relax or get last minute things done, but it's so hard to know when baby will come. But if that's not an issue for you, I'm sure your PTO days will be better appreciated when baby is here!

    I work in education so I have no choice but to use all of my days when having the baby plus taking 7 days unpaid since I didnt have enough to cover that. I am delivering on thursday and I actually am having too many contractions and extremely uncomfortable so I am taking an extra day and a half to rest and prepare for the birth.
