So who was the idiot that decided it'd be a good idea to work until the day before her c/s??

And, that'd be ME! I'm DREADING this friggen week. I'm so not in the mood to get out of bed, let alone teach 5 classes of 25 6th graders. Should've been a movie week but we're doing 'reproduction'...yeah, don't have a movie that'd last a week for that topic. ARGHHHHHHHHHH!! DH told me to call out the last few days, but I feel like I've gone this far, might as well finish it out. This sucks.

Me! And I still have 17 work days until my due date. I'm so tired I'm falling asleep at my computer.

Good! Misery loves company! No offense!

My official due date was 11/27 (my ticker is incorrect).  Tomorrow is my last day at work.  I'm not having much fun at my cubicle right now.

Well, I am not working up until the day before I give birth (well, maybe I am, I just don't know it yet) But I'm not going out until I'm 38 weeks and a few days.  I am so exhausted now and I'm only 36 weeks...I don't know how I am going to last three more weeks!

dueindec2010

Yeah.. I'm wishing I would have decided to take at least the week before my due date off. I just wanted to be home with the LO as much as possible. So now I suffer too.

I'm sorry-I hope your week goes by quickly!

I have the opposite problem.  My last day of work was the 15th.  I was sure I was going to having the baby that week, but here I am still pregnant.  It is frustrating because my maternity leave is unpaid and I feel like I am just wasting time that I should have been spending with the baby.

Either way these last few weeks suck!  Good luck!

I feel your pain!  Not sure how I'm going to make it through the next 3 weeks.

Yeah, I swore I would work up until the end like I did last time.  But I basically gave up last week.  I'm not even trying to telework at this point.  I told my managers that I will log in for a couple hours today and tomorrow but I just know there is no way I can sit still in front of my computer for 8 hours- at home or in the office.  I am so uncomfortable and these sporatic contrax are too much to deal with timing them and trying to work.  I have Dr's appointments and pre-op on Wed. and Thur so I'm not even going to bother checking email.  And now, my mom has broken her foot so I may even be taking care of her!  Yeah, I'm officially d-o-n-e.

I thought I would work up until the end, but I just couldn't drag my a$$ there anymore...it was getting harder and harder. =/ My last day was Wednesday. Good luck and stay strong...you can do it!

CFH79

Yeah, I told my boss that if the baby doesn't come this week (I'm due next Tuesday), that I would most likely start maternity leave next Monday and not be back. 

I took last week off and it was WONDERFUL.  I just don't think I can keep doing this...

erinjerin

I am right there with ya mama! My due date is this Saturday, so I thought that teaching up until this Friday would be fine.  I was mistaken. I am SOOOOO done with teaching at this point. Had contrax all weekend, so I'm a little shocked that I'm here today. I'm crossing my fingers that I don't make it until Friday.....

I'm here too, and after that 4 and 1/2 day weekend the next 3 weeks are looking mighty long indeed.  It's terrible but I keep daydreaming that I'll go into labor so I can go home.

lulu8109

I'm also working up until I go into labor. I thank God for my awesome boss, who is letting me work from home for the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy.  I'm due 12/27 and had asked to work the last week at home, since it's around Christmas.  But my MALE boss knew better and told me to take 3 weeks working at home.  This week is my last week in the office and I don't even know if I'll make it through this week.  Last Tuesday I had to ask my boss if I could go home early because I was too exhausted to stay at work any longer.

Me! Yesterday was the first day I really felt like I was over this whole pregnant thing. I was so tired and unhappy. Poor DH had to deal with me all day. Today my third graders get the privilege The 10th cannot come fast enough.

Working!

I'm doing pretty good physically, but I cannot concentrate. I've got a pile of things to tackle on my desk and I cannot stay on task. I'm hoping to work as long as my body can take it or until my brain completely shuts down
