You might want to start before your due date if you have a complication with your pregnancy, need to be on bed rest or something like that, but keep in mind that you have only 12 weeks of FMLA so if you take a few weeks before the baby's arrival you will have less time with the baby once the baby is there.
The FMLA allows eligible employees to take 12 weeks of unpaid leave when a child is born, adopted or becomes ill, or when a pregnancy or illness requires a worker to care for his or her spouse. Though leave is unpaid, employers are required to continue your employee healthcare coverage during this period.
