I have been summoned for Jury Duty on July 7. Now my first instinct when I got my notice a few weeks ago was to try to get out of it since it is so close to my due date on the 14th. However, I know that I've had friends who deferred their service only to be called again like 6-12 months later. I'd hate to have to find childcare for LO since I'll be staying at home for a year. So I thought it would be smarter to just accept and go and I might not even be picked to be on a trial anyways and I'll still get counted as going. Even if I do make it to the selection process I plan on just standing up and explaining how my due date is next week and could go into labor any day! Plus, since I have been off (I'm a teacher) I kind of need things to keep me busy and mind off of labor etc. Of course, I don't know what I would do if I go before then...I kind of feel like I'll be one of those unlucky women that go past 40 weeks. Am I crazy?

Re: Jury Duty-39 weeks
I went to Jury duty about 2-3 weeks ago. I was clearly big and pregnant, but that didn't matter. I still went through the process of selection. Honestly, it was only like 3.5 hours and wasn't too bad (they had water and snacks too). I didn't get chosen (which I was glad about). I say just get it over with instead of having to go back again in about 6 months (which is how long they push it back here).
Let's just hope you don't go into labor early! GL!

Yeah, 99% positive they will send you home. Might as well go and get it over with.
