Hopefully only 11 more days of work left!

I am getting to the point where things are starting to hurt and I am getting tired quicker.  I also have a stressful job that I will be happy to do without soon.  I am going to ask my OB and/or MFM about going on bedrest starting at 31 weeks.  That gives me only 11 days left of work!  Whoo-hoo!  I am sure I will be bored, but I don't want to push myself and want the babies to keep cooking as long as possible.

Counting today I have 7!! I'm so excited, because like you I'm just uncomfortable, tired etc. I'm sure I will be singing a different tune after a week or two of being home all day alone....

Good for you!

I know what you mean.  My job is pretty physical, and my OB said she'll probably take me out between 24-28 weeks.  I let my boss know and they are working on finding a seasonal replacement for while I'll be out (including maternity leave).  But geez last night I was sore.  I don't know how much longer I'm going to make it either.

I just told my boss that I'm planning to stop working at 32 weeks (that's in 11 work days).  I still have to get my OB to fill out my disability paperwork for it, but she's been ready to do that whenever I gave the word, and I'll take care of that next week.  Although I still feel pretty good physically, I've been feeling really guilty the last couple of days about not taking time to rest and give these babies a better shot of avoiding the NICU.  I feel like I'm finally doing the right thing by truly getting the ball rolling on this!

I went out at 30 weeks and I felt guilty for doing so.  Since leaving work, my blood pressure is back to normal and my swelling is almost nonexistent.  I feel so much better from not working, good luck to you!!
