    4 weeks, it is Dutch law.  And honestly I think it is a good law, those last weeks are so tiring I just wouldn't be comfortable at my desk.

    I'll be working right up until I go into labor. My company doesn't offer maternity leave before delivery.

    I've been pondering this myself in the recent weeks. For me, it really depends on my work situation and what I'll be doing post-delivery. If I have to go back to work (whether at my current job or the one I'm hoping to get 2min from home) then I'll try and work as long as I can so as not to waste my leave at home without my baby boy. If we decide and figure out a way for me to stay home in some form or fashion, then I'll probably try to quit working a week before my due date so I have some time to relax before he gets here. This is all, of course, if my pregnancy continues to be smooth sailing. Never know what wrench will be thrown my way, haha. Guess I'll be continuing in my studies to be flexible!

    I am a teacher and my due date is August 25th...i am not exactly sure when school starts but i think we have prof. development on the 26th...so regardless of actual due date I plan on missing the first 6 weeks of school!

    I am going to work until my due date and play it by ear from there.  I can work from home if I want, so I may do that.  It will all depend how I feel.  I have told my boss I want to work until the bitter end, but this being my first pregnancy, it is so hard to know how I will feel and how much I will be able to do.
