What week did you stop working?

HattieDornbush · February 2013

I am 30 weeks pregnant with twins boy and girl. I was wondering at how many weeks other twin moms stopped working. I am a kindergarten teacher.

I was put on modified bedrest around 29w. I couldnt walk w/out constant braxton hicks hard belly uncomfortableness!

Reilly626 · February 2013

Teacher here too- he wanted me out at 28 weeks and I was forced out at 30 weeks. I rested from then on.

angelfire02 · February 2013

Full time (50 hours/week) nanny for 5 kids. I was made to stop at 30, put on bed rest at 34 for high blood pressure and delivered at 35.6

Ivee4 · February 2013

I am still working however I have had to take things easier. I try to stay at my desk as much as possible and put my feet up whenever I can. However I have to do property visits which are getting difficult because they require a lot of walking.

emschott · February 2013

I taught til the end of my 36th week. Delivered at 37 weeks 1 day. I rolled around on my chair a lot and my students were really helpful.

BabyCarryingVessel · February 2013

Desk job and 33 weeks. That was pushing it for me because the swelling was so bad. I delivered at 36w 5d.

QBall27 · February 2013

I'm at 32 weeks & still working my desk/office job. Each day, I can tell I'm just more worn out in general. Walking up & down the hallway to the bathroom is enough of a workout for me most days

My doctors said I can continue working until the end as long as we aren't having any complications.

36 weeks:)

Shel79 · February 2013

I'm a middle school band director, and I stopped at 32 weeks. I was on my feet too much, had too many evening activities with the band, and my blood pressure was starting to rise. It has only gotten harder to be on my feet, so I'm glad I stopped when I did!

kohalamtn · February 2013

I am 33 week (almost 34) and will be stopping at the end of this week. I am a teacher, and we have an early spring break (hurray!). Things have definitely gotten harder the past few weeks...I now am teaching mostly from a sitting position. I'm really looking forward to the end of the week.

I worked a desk job full time until 37.5 weeks. I could have gone all the way to 48 but I wanted a few days off to spend with DD1. I would not have lasted at a job past 33/34 weeks if I was on my feet. It was exhausting just getting ready for work!

mrsjami · February 2013

At 28 weeks I worked full time from home until 31 weeks. Im on STD now. This was just as a precaution, but so glad bc there is no way I could be working.

ks3pink · February 2013

I got lucky. The school year ended the week my doctor was going to take me out. I was 32 weeks.

zombiemommy · February 2013

I'm a middle school teacher, so I usually was able to teach from my desk, but I worked until 36 weeks. I was induced at 37.

Nmschultz · February 2013

I planned to work until the end, but went on hospital bedrest at 32 weeks.

pinkangelmoon · February 2013

Worked till a day before I delivered at 37w3d. However, I worked from home from a laptop on my couch for the last 6 weeks. If I didn't have my feet elevated, my feet would swell terribly. For the last month it was pretty uncomfortable to stand or walk long distances.

If you decide to work through the end, I'd really recommend a support belt. I had the "best cradle" support belt and it helped tremendously although I was pregnant in the summer and it would show with 90% of my clothes.

PurrCrasher · February 2013

I work in a hospital and I asked to be written out at 32 weeks because I was having constant contractions. My twins came at 36w6d.

lynn0926 · February 2013

I stOpped at 35w. Now, I am sitting with my feet up, waiting!

Rynleigh · February 2013

Up until exactly 35w when I was told during an appointment that I could not go back to work, due to high BP. Two days later I was admitted to the hospital with full blown pre-e and kept there on bed rest for two weeks when they induced me due to low platelet count.

I worked up until the Friday before I had them (delivered on Sunday) which was around 35 weeks. However, my work did let me work from home occasionally and I started doing a bit more desk work.
