Should I ask for a Dr.'s Note or am I being a baby?

I am still working, at least until next week and I am.  But lately it has been getting terrible.  The pressure on my pelvis from standing all afternoon and sitting at my desk is so uncomfortable that I am almost in tears by the afternoon.  Not to mention I am exhausted from not sleeping at all during the night.  I was thinking about working a 6-7 hour day instead of the usual 9 hour day, but Iwould need a note to do that (even though I am using my own earned sick time and I could have started my maternity leave 5 weeks ago under our FMLA guidelines...)  Do you think I should ask for one or do I sound like a big baby?

    You don't sound like a baby to me, I started maternity leave 4 weeks before due date.

    I'm at work today because I like the distraction, but I also have a desk job and can come and go as I please if things get uncomfortable.  If I had to be on my feet I couldn't do it.

    Get a doctors note. You're already a hero for working this long. And you're not a big baby, you're CARRYING one!

    You are on your feet all day?? I would go on leave. I have a desk job at home so I can't imagine working 9 hours on my feet. I had to give a presentation for 45 mins and thought I was going ot passout.

    Girl, the fact that you are still working at all is amazing to me.  At the very least, take your work day down to half.  Get that doctor's note!!!

    I started mine at 39w1d due to pelvic and sciatic nerve pain.
