I am tired, tired, TIRED!
And just am ready to take my leave. I'm due Dec 25th, but I don't think I can do it. What about you guys? Who's still working and who's already thrown in the towel and took their leave.
Besides my job is getting on my last nerve anyway!

We Made A Wish....
And You Came True!
Just take it one day at a time and you will make it! Better to save those days for after the baby comes!
I'm a SAHM this time, but last time I worked until the day before my EDD.
I was going to try and work till the end but my OB and Midwife said I was crazy
, they convinced me to take 2 weeks leave.
My last day is 11/30 and I'm SO ready to be done!!

Get used to be tired.
I'm still working, despite constantly being tired. I'd rather save as much of my time as possible to spend with baby than use it.
Well, I'm not nearly as far along as you guys, but given what my job demands I'm exhausted and hurting by the end of the day. Twelve hours of being on my feet, moving quickly, dealing with patients that feel their complaint trumps every other complaint/medial issue in the department. Plus, this is by far the hardest pregnancy I've been through. I'm either working or sleeping it seems. The house looks atrocious, and the sleep isn't even that great since I'm uncomfortable or I have heartburn in every position no matter what I eat.
I'm not sure how long I can hold out until I need to go on modified duty. The last 2 pregnant nurses at my job went on modified at 29 and 32 weeks. Once girl held out but now is like 2 years post partum and still dealign with pubis symphasis problems she obtained while pregnant...the poor thing is in constant pain and recently had to undergo a cortisone injection into that joint to try and ease the pain. I don't want to end up like her.Especially since at the end of my last 12 I was having uncomfortable pain right where she had been having it.

I am too and this is my plan. I am having twins so my doctor may change my plan for me, but unless i hear otherwise...need to save time for my 12 wk leave.
I have a 12/25 due date as well and am working until the 20th (of Dec), with a scheduled repeat c-section on the 21st. I'm fortunate enough to have the flexibility to work remote when need be, but, so far, I've only done it for doc appt. days and days where my oldest son's school is closed.
That said, I do have some tired days (like today where I had an emergency children's hospital visit for my youngest, who split his head open and needed 10 stitches). I just go with the flow and adjust with things like choosing not to cook tonight and forget cleaning the house! Choose your battles and hang in there!
Same for me, then I'm due 12/24. Unless I go into labor before that.
I am.
My goal was to work until Thanksgiving and to take it day by day after that. The hardest part is working two days in a row. I'm a nurse and work 12 hours shifts, so the back-to-back all day physical work is getting more difficult. I could have gone out a long time ago because of my STD, but I'm trying to save as much vacation time as I can, so really, I'm only working now because I still feel pretty good and I want to earn more hours so I can get paid my full time out after baby comes.
I am and am supposed to be getting ready to go in now. But dealing with a bunch of stupid drunks just isn't sounding all that fun tonight so I'm procrastinating. *Sigh* Sitting around dreading it won't help much though.
I have plans to work until the week I am due. The way my schedule worked out I will have 2 days off before my "due date" and if I go past I will just pick up shifts as I go. The nice part about that is that likely they won't be 12 hour shifts-just 6's or 4's which is MUCH easier!

This. I am a teacher.
lurking....sorry
I worked right up til the very end.. literally.
My due date was 10/7... water broke while I was working on 10/3 at around 1pm. he was born 10/4 at 6:12am
I am tired, though. I wish I had enough vacation days to take a day here or there before she comes.
I'm 37w2d & still working as a vet tech. Add to that my husband has been in bed sick for the past 9 days & today I picked up my SD for the weekend & was informed that she stayed home from school with a fever today.
So, yeah. Not much sympathy from this corner right now. Sorry.
'Til He returns, or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I stand.
I am so done with work but going to hang in there until dec. 21.
You should try and hang in there as long as you can. It will be more time with your little one.
