How long did you work for?

FTM, 29 weeks pregnant with di-di B/G twins. Just wondering for those with multiples already how long did you work for before going on leave?

The doctor wrote me a note that said due to the complications of a twin pregnancy that I couldn't work past 30 weeks. I am a teacher and our disability pay is 70%. So I just had to give my district the dr note and fill out paperwork! I would've never made it to 37 weeks without all that rest. Perfectly healthy pregnancy until 36.5 weeks I started to get preeclampsia so they induced me exactly at 37.

I worked right up until my scheduled c-section at 38w2d. I wanted as much time with my girls after they were born, so I didn't want to go on leave before they were born. I took the day off before my surgery, because I had to be there at 5:00am. I wanted one last day to spend with my family, and give my son some one on one attention.

I'm 33 weeks with di/di boys & I'm pretty sure today was my last day. I'm an RN & on my feet all day. I'm getting fairly crampy while at work & want to keep these boys in as long as possible!!

30 weeks and then my doctor gave me a note so I could rest up. Was able to get disability pay. Made it to 37 weeks due to all the rest...was great!

I went into labor at work at 39 weeks! I kept getting told (by co workers not by my doctor) stay home and rest but I was pretty stubborn!!! But I was healthy and happy! I think it all depends on your body and how it handles the pregnancy!

I worked until 32 weeks. I was working retail on my feet all day so I was just physically done! I quit my job and had my babies at 38 weeks.

How did the disability pay work? Was it just an extension of the normal 4 weeks you get before delivery where you receive half your pay?
