When will you stop working ?

Monkeygirl26 · April 2009

How many days before due date to you plan on taking off ?

I don't want to take to much time off before, I only get 4-6 weeks and it's unpaid so I rather be spending it with my baby than sitting around waiting !

I'll stop when my contractions start or my water breaks. I don't want to waste any time that could be spent with baby.

When I go into labor.

Im a teacher and I am due in June so I plan on working until I go into labor.

schmapril · April 2009

My original plan was to keep working until the baby popped out, but I started not going to work yesterday (on my actualy due date)

My doc has pretty much told me that she will take me out when I am ready. She is a big believer in knowing your limits and getting rest when you need it.

That being said I would like to stay as long as I can so I have optimum time with baby this summer.

My last day at work is Friday, May 1st. My induction is set for Monday, May 11th.

I am due May 12 and set my last day as April 24 (about 2 weeks before my due date). However, my doctor pulled me as of Tuesday (4 weeks before my due date). Thankfully, I have separate PTO that I can take before the baby is born and it doesn't affect my PTO after. All in all, I am taking 6 weeks of unpaid time, but will be off for about 6 months.

Same here, although I'm starting to regret that decision.

I want to go now! But I will probably go 2 weeks before my due date.. Turns out as of July 1st NJ is offereing paid leave for up to 12 weeks to "bond" with baby.... so I am going to use my maternity disability for the 2 weeks before the baby and once he is born, I will file for the bonding time to begin. I may even stretch it to 3 weeks before depending on my mood and how I feel.

I'm done today!!! WOOHOO!!

in my life · April 2009

My due date is June 12th and I think my last day will probably be June 1.

CantWaitforBaby · April 2009

I'm due May 25th, and starting May 4th I'll cut back to 15 hrs/week and then on May 17th I'm done! Can't wait!

jenn11980 · April 2009

I'm due July 9th and my last day is July 3rd, so only a few days before I'm due.

Princess_Lily · April 2009

Its officially started today. Yes, I could have waited longer, but I have sooo much to do and sooo little time, I'd rather dedicate these last few weeks (if I have as many as I do) to getting the house ready for our little one.

I'm trying to work up until the end. I'm hoping to be able to work from home a few days a week for the last couple weeks.

TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mrs.Zip · April 2009

LOL I've already "stopped" working / being productive at work. Yet they continue to pay me, so ....

I think I'm going to make 5/1 my last day, since I'm constantly tired and am struggling a bit to make it through every day.

FWIW, I'm not planning on returning to work, so saving time to spend with baby after his/her arrival is a moot point for me.

Chrysallys · April 2009

The last day of school is about 2 1/2 weeks before my EDD but then I have a week after that where I need to clean my classroom out. Ugh. I'll be doing a lot of directing at that point.
