Re: What week are you going to stop working?

I will be at the office until this baby is here!...37 weeks and still not feeling uncomfortable.

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

Until the last possible minute.

My boss is terrified of my water breaking in the office, but I promised him that I won't come to work with contractions.

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

I plan on working as long as I can to get as much time off after as I can.

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

I had to stop working last week at 31 weeks...went into preterm labor But on a positive note, it really is nice being able to stay home and relax now..I was planning on working until I was due

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

What your full term after 37 weeks and can go anytime? Why is this news to me. Reality check for sure. I might be planning our moving date a few weeks sooner than I had originally thought.

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

Current plan is 37 weeks!

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

I worked up until 38 weeks. I had one week "off" before the baby came, I delivered him at 39 wks. I was glad I at least had that one week to nest and relax!

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

My c-section is scheduled for next Wed., unless I go into labor sooner, which I'm willing to bet won't happen, my last day is a week from today.

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

I was planning on working until I gave birth, but my Dr put me on bedrest as of 35 weeks when I was already 4cm dialated. So I'll be working from home until I have the baby.

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

I will stop working at 38weeks I am a teacher.

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

Last pregnancy I worked up until the end - I went 9 days early. I went into labor on a Sunday. This time I'll be on summer break. I'm due 9/5 and I don't anticipate on going in at all.

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

I work for NYC and the maternity policy will put me out paid two months before my due date- expecting twins in July.

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

I'm due next Thursday but I have a planned C this Friday at 39 weeks 1 day because she's breech. I'm working until Wednesday so I have Thursday to do some food shopping and cleaning with my mom. I was planning to go until the bitter end so I could save my days off for when she arrives.

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

I have a scheduled C-section on 4/22 and my last day of work is 4/20.

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

I would like to work until the very end. DD came at 37.5 weeks though, so my OB might have other plans for me!!

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

im a teacher due june 1 with twins
my plan right now is to go out about April 16th about 6 weeks before my due date, i am not a big girl and my belly is getting big and heavy, my dr said whenever i am ready let him know and he will write me out

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

My Doctor signed me out of work last time. I'm hoping he'll do it again this time. It was nice to have a week off of work before the baby came along.

I have a job where I'm sitting most of the time, but I do most of everything around the office and it's getting harder and harder. When I stress I get cramps and it scares me a little. The people who are going to be covering for me while I'm out aren't stepping up to the plate at all. I have a feeling they'll be in for a rude awakening when I leave.

For all of you who work til the end, I give you soooo much credit. I am 33 weeks and wish I could stop now. lol I am sooooo tired in the morning and get stressed easily these days.

For those of you who can work from home, I am completely jealous! I wish I had that option.

Thank you for all of your input. :)

Re: What week are you going to stop working?

I would love to go to the end - I have a lot of work to do and it will keep me busy. That being said if work starts getting difficult (I work in a lab and am usually running around most of the day) I have no problem staying home and it won't affect my 12 week leave.
