question for my july mommies

when do you plan to stop working?

I so wish I had a choice in the matter but with DH laid off we just cannot afford to make 40% less than we are now. I am praying his job calls him back for work before arrives otherwise ...we're kinda screwed

Re: question for my july mommies

I am not planning on stopping until my water breaks!!! I am only 32 weeks but feel pretty good! My commute into the city is 1.5 hours each way so I didn't order the july lirr pass. I plan on working from home or in our long island office beginning in mid july. (Due 7/31) I hope you dh gets called back soon!

Re: question for my july mommies

I had my ds July 12th last year, I stopped working right before the holiday. July 2nd.

Re: question for my july mommies

I'm planning on working until my water breaks as well. I want to spend as much time at home with the baby and any time I take off before he arrives is part of my 3 months.

Re: question for my july mommies

Re: question for my july mommies

I am due July 14th and working till my water breaks, I want as much time with the little one as i can get..

Re: question for my july mommies

I'm a July mommy to be but a SAHM so obvs will continue "working" until the end. BUT I was also a July mommy last time around, I was due July 9. I ended up being taken out of work by drs orders the second week of June due to high blood pressure combined with the long commute. so it really depends on the factors involved. but if you feel good and think you can continue, go for it!

June 28th! When the school year ends!

Re: question for my july mommies

I'm due July 22nd and I plan to work until my water breaks. My company allows work from home, so currently I am working from home 1-2 days a week in the month of June and most likely will work from home the entire month of July until I give birth. If I feel up to it I will go in the office a few times, but I will play it by ear. I want to save all my days until after the baby is born.

Re: question for my july mommies

i am due july 11 and was put on bedrest on may 20, which totally sucks. my plan though, was to work til the last day of school (june 28th).

Re: question for my july mommies

I am working until I go into labor or I go in for my scheduled C-section (July 14).

I get 12 weeks off and want to be with my baby the whole time

Re: question for my july mommies

i plan on working until I really just can't anymore. I work 35-45 minutes (drive) from home and over an hour away from my hospital.

With DS1, I was due 8/12/09, but was hospitalized twice for contractions starting 7/8/09 and was 3-4cm dilated when checked @ L&D on 7/26. My last day of work was 7/27, my water broke on 7/29, and I had him 7/30. I knew my body was ready, so I knew that Monday 7/27 was going to be my last day.

Trust me, you'll KNOW when you're done!!!
