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 earliest that you can start your maternity leave is 11 weeks before your expected week of childbirth, which is when you are about 29 weeks pregnant. To ensure that you get all your rights, you should use the due date given on the MAT B1 pregnancy certificate that your midwife or GP will give you.
