March mommies, when are you stopping work?

I wish I could stop now but unless it's for a medical reason like scheduled c section, I would have to start using my days. Wwyd?

Re: March mommies, when are you stopping work?

6 weeks is not enough time to be off, so i am trying to work until the very last moment

My c-section is on 3/5 and my last day is 3/3. I dont want to use my time off to sit at home and just be anxious.

I worked up until the the day I gave birth. It was difficult towards the end, especially with a commute into the city, but I wanted to save all my days for when DS was here.

I hear you. I feel like I can use some down time but it will dock my days.

Not until I go into labor unfortunately.

Re: March mommies, when are you stopping work?

Not a March mommy now but both my boys where March babies. With my first I was Due March 6th and stopped working two weeks before. I loved that time off alone. I got so much done, and got to relax before baby came.

My second I was due March 13th and delivered March 19th. I stopped working three weeks before. I work overnights and with another kid at home, I just couldn't work anymore. I had enough!!

This one I work part-time so I'm thinking I will go to at least two weeks before my due date. We shall see how I feel.

I work for the state so I always took extended family leave with both kids. So I didn't have to go back right away. I know it's different for many people so they have to work till the end.

I am a scheduled C section on 3/11 so I figured 3/7 is my last day. I wish i could accrue more days but my Dr wants to do the section at 39 weeks.
this weather is killing my PTO hours also.. NO more snow please

I had a scheduled c/s for a Sunday and I stopped that Friday. I wanted to use all days for my maternity leave.

I went out at 32 weeks - I work for the LIRR and they dont have light duty or maternity leave, so ive been unpaid and BORED. what i would give to go back!

Re: March mommies, when are you stopping work?

I'm working until the day before the actual due date then taking 2 months off after that at full pay. I got a few days to delivery naturally before the c-section date.

Re: March mommies, when are you stopping work?

I have a scheduled c for Monday morning, I will stop on Thursday so that I can have my pre-op testing on Friday and the weekend to rest. I would prefer to save my days (12 weeks) for when the baby is here.

Re: March mommies, when are you stopping work?

Im a scheduled c for Wed. March 19th and plan on my last day the Friday before so I can spend a few days with my kids before I go into the hospital

Re: March mommies, when are you stopping work?

with my first i worked up until my due date, and then i couldnt take it any more. this one i will have a scheduled c-section the week before my due date, so i'll work up until then.

I would work for as long as you possibly can...you'll know when you are "done"
