If you are late, did you keep working?

CHS2005 · March 2011

I have always planned to work up to the last possible minute. However, I never got this far along with DS#1 so I was never in this position and now I am really rethinking things. The baby is pressing really hard on my pelvis/cervix/whatever and it is nowpainful, vs just uncomfortable. I can barely walk at times and my work requires a lot of walking - I go to the dr tomorrow so i'll know more then but, anyone else in this position??

I didn't make it to my due date with DS either since I was induced early. I won't be with this pg so I guess I do plan on working (however hard I'll be able to) until I have the baby.

I started working half-days. Full days were just too much!

I stopped at 39 weeks 2 days. It was way too uncomfortable for me to keep working. I thought I'd be able to do it, but I just started feeling so sick it was impossible.

I am due tomorrow and am going to work. But I sit at a desk all day and am not taking any new cases at work and just wrapping up old cases I have, so it's not been very stressful. If I had to be on my feet at all I would be at home on my couch lol.

I am stopping work on May 2nd. My original due date was the 9th; and the second is the 17th. I was really nervous about going into labor at work--especially since I work with young kids (kindergarten-2nd grade) all day long. Unfortunately, in our district we have to give 60 days notice about it--so, once you put it for it, that is the day you leave.

my boss is being a total douche about me going on leave so I'm staying until i go into labor... hoping my water breaks in his office! grrr I hope i'm not late, but will likely have to be there either way.

I'm due on Tuesday, and planning to work this coming week. I've been working less hours (like 9-4) and mostly just closing things out, nothing to stressful. My boss offered to let me work from home last Friday, but I told her I wanted to save that option for when I felt really uncomfortable. If I don't go in tomorrow, it will be because of these ALLERGIES FROM HELL. Omg I'm miserable right now and it has nothing to do with this pregnancy.

I am overdueand still working... I sit at a desk all day, but it is still hard. I have no energy and I get a lot of back pain. I am wondering how much longer I can keep working.

My last day is this Friday. My work has me getting up and down a lot at times and it can be extremely hard at times. And I am getting to be so uncomfortable too. I know that I could probably keep going but I think stopping then will be what is best.

With #1 I worked until my induction was schdeuled at 41W3D.

With DD#1 I worked until the last possible minute - I was 10 days overdue and got the call to go to the hospital during the work day while I was sitting at my desk (and actually tried to negotiate my way into holding the bed for me so I could finish the work day...I was nuts). I was happy as a clam and not in any discomfort.

Things are so much different this time around though! I am being induced this Friday with DD#2, and I wish I had taken this week off. I am so tired and very uncomfortable, plus I have a bunch to do at the house that I wish I could be getting done. I am working until Wednesday, but again I wish I wasn't... Oh well.
