    I'm due April 10 and that's when my "maternity leave" will start. I am taking sick leave as of March 29th though because I worked until the end with my son and I do NOT want to do that again.

    My last day is the 29th and I'm due the 23rd. It's technically my three weeks of vacation time. I have to burn all my time before I go on leave, either way, I lose it when I come back.

    I stopped working last week - started maternity leave Monday. Loving it so far!!! Feels good to meet up with DH for lunch since he works close to the house and go for a long walk afterwards :)

    I hear ya! I would love to take mine now, but since I work from home I will just work until baby comes. It's really not THAT bad, but I would love to have some more time to rest and lay around before baby comes. Although I do feel like after a day or two,

    I am due 4/12 and Doctor took me out as March 18th. Did not like me commuting to work and since I have gestational diabetes we are doing weekly NSTs and Ultrasounds. At first I was upset, but the extra rest and nesting time is nice.

    My RCS is 4/15 (Mon) and my last day will either be 4/11 (Thu) or 4/12 (Fri). If I didn't need the money so badly I would take the entire prior week off but my leave is unpaid so I am already going to go 8 weeks w/o a paycheck :( I needed to work as mu

    When I go into labor or when my Dr tells me to. Although I really like the idea of starting April 1st, I'm due the 8th. Or I may start it on my due date. I'm kind of playing it by ear.

    As long as my health allows it I'm going to work up to my delivery. Otherwise, it messes with my short term disability payouts.

    Leave will start the day I'm in the hospital pushing out the baby.  I have a desk job though, so its not as stressful on my body as many of you who work on your feet.

    I'm working up until the bitter end. My due date is April 28 and my RCS is scheduled for April 26. I plan to take the day or two before my RCS off as PTO and then start my maternity leave officially on the day I deliver. I'm having a hard time deciding wh

    My last day is March 30th. Not due until April 23rd but I have 3 weeks of vacation to use up (in Canada, so I'll be off on mat leave after that for a while). Kudos to you guys working up to the very end!

    I'm going to work until the day I go into labor unless I am told I medically can't.  I want as long off with my baby as possible.

    I'm trying to work up until I go in to delivery b/c the way they pay out my disability if I take off any earlier is screwy. And I just don't want to deal w/any money issues in addition to everything else going on.

    Working up until I deliver. I would like to have some time to myself before the baby comes, but I'd much rather prefer all the time I can get with her before I need to return to work. Plus, I sit at a desk all day so it's nothing strenuous that I can't ha

    I'm due 4/4 and I'm planning to work until 3/28. 

    I have an appointment with the perinatologist the morning of 3/29 and my office has a half day so there is really no point in going in that day.  :)

    I own my own vet clinic and am the only veterinarian on staff, so I'm working until this baby is falling out or I'm told otherwise.

    I started my leave a week before my EDD w/ dd and was about crazy by the time I was induced a week later. (P

    I'm planning to work until 4/19 with a 4/22 due date. I might leave on 4/12 if things get really miserable, or if it's looking like I may go early.

    Due April 10, last day April 5, although as big as this baby is, I don't think I will last that long. I'm wondering if it will be a March baby!

    I am working until I deliver. I have a desk job.I work for a police department and the hospital is closer to me at work than at home. So if god forbid I need to get to the hospital fast they can get me there.

    My last day is April 5th and I'm due the 23-27 (depending on the u/s).

    With DD1, my water broke the Monday night after I went on leave, so I pretty had one real day (if you don't count the weekend) before she came.

    My doctor wants to take me off of work starting next Monday March 25th due to breathing troubles.  I'd like to work as close to my due date as possible though (April 15th), so we"ll talk about it at my next appointment.

    I started this week (37 weeks) but I own my own business and only plan to take two weeks off after the baby is born and then ease back into work (I do photography).

    I finished on 8 March. I have no idea how all you ladies are still working. I found sitting at a desk to be incredibly painful on my back, plus I had so much swelling in my legs and carpal tunnel in my wrists. I am so ready for baby to arrive!
