3rd Trimester

working elders...come on in!

Any elders out there still working?  I am 37 weeks with my c-section scheduled 4/14 and STILL have a week of work left to go.

I want to cry like a child every morning heading in here though.  Anyone else totally OVER working?

I can;t wait to start maternity leave.....one more week :)

when are you all stopping?

Re: working elders...come on in!

  • I was just a little over 38 weeks when I went on leave.  I wish I worked another week so I would have another week with my son, but it's probably best.  I'm a teacher and my feet were killing me by lunch time.  It might be good that you don't have much time between when your leave starts and your c-section.  I've been so bored the last 2 weeks! Good luck!
  • I'm due the 20th... but my last day of work will be the 16th... two more weeks!

  • We're off today for Good Friday. I'm really hoping LO decides to show up this weekend because going back to work on Monday would be super disappointing. But, I'm planning to work until he gets here!

  • I am planning to work until the baby comes -- so it could potentially be another four weeks! -- but I feel like crying every day when I go to work.  I'm so uncomfortable and my mind isn't in it anymore and it sucks. 
  • I'm working up until my c/s
  • still working my 12 hour shifts 3 days a week... and will be till LO arrives. Need to go buy some new shoes, the ones I am wearing now are tight and make 12 hours running around seem like much longer!

    I'm still working too Stick out tongue

    I'm due April 21, at most I'll have 12 more days to work and that's only if I go the 10 days over at which point I'd be sent for induction or c-section.

    I'm working 3 10 hr days, the 3 days a week is great but the 10 hr days are getting longer and longer. I keep hoping I'll go into labor SOON and get to be done working and get busy cuddling my little guy!

  • I'm 'past due' and still working, though today is my last day. I can't stomach coming in next week with everyone saying "still no baby yet?". That and I have finally become physically uncomfortable.
  • I am due in 3 days, still working. but, i am in the Navy and our regs are different from civilian world.
  • I'm still working. However next week I will probably work only partial days or work from home. Most of my work has been transitioned to my backfill so there's no new work for me to do anyways.

    And I'm complaining about 3 10's......wow I'm burnt out after 10 hrs I don't want to think about 3 12's. Your a trooper!

  • Still working.  I have a desk job though.  If I'm still pregnant Monday it will be very hard to come in.

  • I am planning on working until April 29th (six weeks til the end of the school year)!  My due date is April 30th though and I am already pretty uncomfortable.  Good news is everything is prepared for my leave so I am taking it as easy as possible. I am actually to the point that I am LOOKING for more things to do at work just to make the time pass more quickly. 

  • Today is my last day - due date is 4/21. I'm not wasting any leave by going early, though, since I'm going to be a SAHM. I'm pretty happy I'm done today, my feet are really bothering me and I have an hour commute each way.

  • My due date was yesterday...and here I sit at work! Smile

  • I am still working and planning on working until LO arrives but we are toying with the idea of me starting my FMLA on my due date especially since my doctor prefers inducing in the 41st week. It wouldn't seem like such a waste if I knew it would be only a week until LO arrives. And I am SO TIRED, and my mind is 100% not here right now. Ugh.

  • I'm still here working and will continue to work until LO decides to make her appearance!  I really am not over working ( I actually feel pretty good), but I am getting soooo anxious to see my DD finally!!

  • I'm still working at 39 weeks and plan to until she arrives. It's a nice distraction.

  • I am due the 15th and plan on working till the 12th.  But if I feel good that week I will probably come into the office for a couple shorter days.  The last two weeks I have only worked 4 days instead of 5, which I feel bad about but oh well!
  • I had planned on working until the baby comes. But it turns out that my blood pressure is creeping up. They want me to go on self-inflicted bedrest.
    I think I'll be able to work something out.

    I'm due on the 12th. I think I'll work through the 9th...but mostly from home.

  • I worked til my due date! I would have stayed longer, but this is the start of our spring break (I teach) and Dr's not letting me go past another week overdue.
