When does everybody plan on working up until?

I planned on working up until or the week before my due date (4/11) I teach 1st grade and at 34 weeks, it's getting to be difficult. I had a stomach bug yesterday and I can't sleep. The baby is sitting on my chest and can't breath. My goal @ this point is to make it to 37/38 weeks.
How about everybody else?

Re: When does everybody plan on working up until?

I work in a school, and am due in August, soooo luckily I will get 6 weeks off before LO comes. =D

Re: When does everybody plan on working up until?

im due for a csestion/induction at 38 weeks and 4 days so at the end of the 37th week im done. Its so hard to work like this

Re: When does everybody plan on working up until?

I will be working right up till the end just like I did the last 2 times. With DD#1 my water broke as I walked into work, she was born later that night. With DD#2, I went into labor on my night off but had worked the night before and was due to go back the next night. I work a lot on my feet, but I was ok the last 2 times till the end. This baby is transverse right now, so I'm not really that uncomfortable yet; just tired so far. I'll see how I'm feeling as the days go by, but I'd like to work as long as possible so I have more time off after he's born.

Re: When does everybody plan on working up until?

Im a HS teacher and at almost 32 wks work has gotten pretty tough already. My LO is due April 28th - Im going to try to go until April 15th which is the start of Spring Break... I should have the baby right after that. I would love to stop sooner though.
