turbosgirl · April 2010

trying to debate when to stop working.....im already not doing much at work (i manage a spa and its torture to do laundry and walk around the spa too much)

just wondering what everyone else was doing??

MWoodside · April 2010

When I'm in labor. I don't want to lose any days w/ LO.

cdc1982 · April 2010

I'm here until the baby pops out! I only get 6wks ML & don't want to use it waiting around.

muffie1303 · April 2010

I stopped at 30 weeks. I'm in the UK though, and we get 12 months leave, with 33 weeks paid.

mrsfrank · April 2010

May last day is May 28 (38 weeks 3 days) and I deliver by scheduled c section June 2, 39w1d.... I have memorial day weekend off before she comes

BabyButler2010 · April 2010

I'm working until I go into labor

I only have a limited amount of time off and want to save it all to spend with my new son

BelhurstBride · April 2010

9 days to go! I'm due at the beginning of Spring Break and am not returning afterward- whether I'm pregnant or not! But I'm done for a couple years at that point.

amynicoletta · April 2010

I am working right up until she comes pretty much. I have an appt. tomorrow and I hope they consider inducing since there is a possibility LO is getting big. (Last week she was measuring almost 40 weeks!) Plus I am getting extremely uncomfortable at work. Even though I have a desk job, sitting for 9 hours a day with swelling is less than ideal.

mysticporter · April 2010

Right up until the end, only early if medically necessary.

alicianrj · April 2010

I am working up until April 30th. I will be a few days shy of 38 weeks.

melanie926 · April 2010

I just finished work, I have about 2 weeks until my due date. I have a lot at home I wanted to accomplish before baby arrives and I didn't have the time/energy to do it all on weekends. I'm also using this time to spend some one on one time with my other daughter before things get too hectic. I'm in Canada, so I get a year long maternity/parental leave.

dstar · April 2010

The day I go into labor will be the day I stop working unless I need to stop for medical reason.

trapani2be · April 2010

Today is my first day off work, I was hoping to work a little longer but they wanted my replacement trained and ready to go at least a week before my due date and wouldn't keep us both on. They kept looking at me like I was going to go into labour any minute.

hikerbeth · April 2010

I stopped at my due date (last week). I teach fitness classes and my workouts were suffering due to being so pregnant, so I figured I'd stop.

This baby better come out soon.

MrsHunter2Be · April 2010

I am working up until I'm either told I can't work anymore or I'm in labor. I want as much time with my little guy as possible

Happy2beMrsT · April 2010

I'm a SAHM, so that's not an issue this time. I just wanted to add that I stopped working 2 weeks before my due date when I was pregnant with DD. That was the longest 2 weeks EVER! It was horrible just sitting around waiting, I wish I would have worked atleast another week.

thestewartsrock · April 2010

My last day was last Wednesday, but I have a unique situation as we are moving from Europe back to the states at the end of the summer, so I am not going back to work. I am still finishing up my last class and my comp exams for school this month, though, so I still have a "job" with that.

anvloveskme · April 2010

I am due July 8th, so July 2nd (the Friday before) will be my last day. I have clients that have to have files transfered to another person and court appearances that require pre-scheduled coverage, so I can't wait until I go into labor. Plus, I think if she comes on time or late, it will be nice to have a few days to relax before she comes!

biddybaby · April 2010

I work retail and while I had planned on staying on until at least my due date I had to tell them last week was my last. I would be so sore at the end of a shift that I could barely walk.

KristenBtobe · April 2010

I work part time so I don't have much leave time accrued so I don't want to waste it before he is born. I'm three days late and planning on working until I'm in labor. It's a good distraction.

Peanut1334 · April 2010

April 9th! I'll be 37 weeks. I have a 35 mile commute one-way and at this point I am afraid I'll be at work and go into labor.

JenCrabbe13 · April 2010

My last is planned to be on my due date.

MrsDeHav · April 2010

i'm still debating on my last day. my midwives recommended the 16th (2 weeks before EDD) but i was thinking 1 week or just a few days before my EDD. i may decide based on how i feel.

~CoCo~ · April 2010

I'm still working, but luckily I WFH. With DD I WFH until 7:30pm the night I went into labor. I hope to keep busy this time too. Aaaany time now...

FTR, I stopped commuting to the office (100 miles each day) at 37w with both pregnancies.

Rachelilly23 · April 2010

Friday

DH comes home soon from being away for 6 months so we agreed I would leave my job early so we can make up some of the time we've lost. We'll just be relocating for the Navy a couple months after LO comes anyway.

mrs.messi · April 2010

MWoodside:
When I'm in labor. I don't want to lose any days w/ LO.

Ditto!

MrsBraun · April 2010

I feel like a wuss compared to all you ladies! I'm taking off 4 weeks before EDD (mostly because I have the vacation time, and I get 12 months of after LO is here, so I'll be happy to take the extra time beforehand). I'm making myself a "mat leave list" of projects I want to do before LO arrives.

ABAMom · April 2010

Up until last week, I was going to work until I went into labor. After talking with my MW, who said that I looked completely drained and exhausted, I decided Friday will be my last day. I must say, ladies, now having an end in sight is an amazing thing!

As some of you may know, DH and I recently took in a 10 year old and 13 year old. Being pregnant is a breeze compared to the 13 year old, who I think has led me to higher blood pressure, exhaustion, etc.

wannabmommy · April 2010

Working right up until my c/s.

mrsjohnny · April 2010

I'll be 36weeks 6days.

April 30 is my last day! I'm counting down.

kirkette · April 2010

I stopped last Monday at 30 weeks 6 days.

I will not go back until the fall.
