You can start your maternity leave any day from 11 weeks before your due date. Your maternity leave will start earlier than the date you pick if: your baby comes early, or. you're off work with an illness related to your pregnancy, and this happens in the 4 weeks before the week of your due date.
In a normal pregnancy, a worker will typically be disabled 4 weeks before the expected due date and 6 weeks after for a vaginal birth or 8 weeks after for a cesarean section.
In the US, you cannot be fired for being pregnant, HOWEVER, you can be fired after missing more time than you had earned off for time off as of the birth.

Additionally, the federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protect against pregnancy-related discrimination in the workplace. Under these laws, it is illegal for employers to fire, demote, or refuse to hire a woman because she is pregnant.
If you're healthy and aren't at a higher risk for pregnancy complications, and your job doesn't involve exposure to harmful chemicals or isn't physically demanding, you can likely work right up until your due date.
