Re: *~*Sept Siren Wed Check In*~*
Good morning ladies! I am having a scheduled c-section and I am taking off a week before it. Rylie will go to daycare and I will sit around and do nothing for a week.
QOTD: Are you going to work until your due date/until Dr tells you to stop? Or are you taking off earlier?
Who knows? I'm working a six-week summer school program which ends August 14th then we all have a two week break before September 1st orientation, kids return Sept 2nd. I'm due on the 9th, which is after the Labor Day weekend. I have been saying I would try to come in for that first week of September, but personally I am totally done with work, even right now in week 1 of summer school. I'm. Just. Done. The only motivation for coming in to work this summer is I get paid if I come in. In September, I can use my sick days, but I do want to save them. So, it really is up in the air. It depends on my health (bad back) and how soon baby wants to come out.

QOTD: Are you going to work until your due date/until Dr tells you to stop? Or are you taking off earlier?
Like some pp said, I'm working until the moment I can't. I teach school, and I would hate to begin the school year with my students starting with some long term sub. It might might be sooner rather than later because I've developed some issues with this pregnancy and they might have to take her early. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for full term though!

My plan is to work right up until my due date or shortly after if no progress has been made. I want/need to save all of my days for my FMLA leave. Otherwise, any time take before LO gets here will be unpaid.
Yesterday I put in my VACATION!! from August 17th till September 8th..I am then taking September 8th on for mat leave!!! YEah ...so no Im not statying till the end...Leaving at 37 weeks...and sooo deserve it!
But of course it's a little different as Im in Canada and we get a year...I think more ladies would go earlier in the US - if you got the same option...which is sooo unfair for you gals
My due date is Sept. 9th, and I'm quitting work on the 29th of August. I'm on my feet all day...10 hours mostly and I have a feeling by the time I'm that big, I won't be wanting to stand up at all. haha!
Morning ladies!
I planned on working right up until shes ready to come. I have 2 jobs so i will be stopping the one mid august. its light work so its nothing too serious. But since my main job insurance and benefit changes i cant afford to take anymore time off if needed. So as it stands im working up until my date or when she comes.. and then a few wks off and its back to work
They are still trying to determind if im "grandfathered" in scince theres only 10 wks left for me.. but i highly doubt it.. these new changes suck and are the worst although i am glad that i do have benefits-- these new ones just really screwed me over with our company being bought out..
ok mini vent over lol
QOTD: Are you going to work until your due date/until Dr tells you to stop? Or are you taking off earlier?
I am planning on working until my due date or until the docs tell me to stop.
I am ready to leave now and I am only 28 weeks! This pregnancy has been hard for me and I am ready for some rest, but I am trying to decide how many weeeks we can live on 60% pay and decide when I can leave. I get 13 weeks of short term disability and as tempting as it is to want to use a big chunk before the baby comes, I would hate to have regrets after the baby is born and I have to go back to work.
I wish my doctor would give me a timeline just so I don't have to figure it out.
This. Plus I think I would go crazy just sitting aroung waiting to go into labor.
Happy Hump Day!!
QOTD: Well, my original plan was to work up until I went into labor (or the Dr. told me no more) however I found out a couple of weeks ago that I am being laid off effective July 24 (along with the rest of my department). There is a possiblity that there is another position I could move into here, but my boss has to work out the financing, so keep your fingers crossed! If that doesn't work out, I'll be trying to get some temp work through my recruiter until my little boy decides to make his debut.

QOTD: Are you going to work until your due date/until Dr tells you to stop? Or are you taking off earlier?
I'm leaving one job about 3 weeks before my EDD. The other is at a hospital, so unless my doctor advises that I stop working earlier, I plan to work up to the end. What's the worst that can happen? Delivery at the wrong hospital?
  Also, my family lives in the town where I work, so I figure they could drive me home to meet up with DH and get to the hospital where we plan to deliver. 
Edit: Also, I'm a contract employee. No work = no pay.
QOTD: Are you going to work until your due date/until Dr tells you to stop? Or are you taking off earlier?
I am due sept 2nd, and am working until the end of this month (july). i am a nanny of two boys under the age of three, and they keep me very busy. i figure i could use a month off before Ruby comes to get everything in order, although i have a sneaking suspicion that she is coming early.......
I plan on working up until I go into labor. I want to save as much time as possible for after LO is born.
Also, could you update my age please? I am now 33. Ughh. My EDD is 9/3. Thank you!
Well I work at home taking care of my son so no I will not be taking off work early! It would be nice though so that I could finish some things up.
QOTD: Are you going to work until your due date/until Dr tells you to stop? Or are you taking off earlier?
I'll probably work up till the week before my due date so long as I continue to feel good.
