Working up to arrival

  Eh, no probably not. I work an hour away from home and the hospital I am delivering at is about 35 minutes from my house. So it could take two hours for me to get to the hospital from start to finish if I am at work. I figure if I am in early stages of labor I won't go to work, otherwise I plan on working as long as possible. With DS I worked until a week before his EDD and decided to throw in the towel and then ended up being 10 days late. I wish I would've continued working! You just have to listen to your body, 5 days before your due date could be way before LO even shows up.

  Not at all, assuming you feel fine and there are no signs of labor. I live in Chicago, so an hour commute each way is normal.

  I'd do it too. My job is 50 minutes from my hospital anyway. An hour and a half away doesn't seem crazy at all.

  I agree with pp's. I think 2 hrs would be my limit.

  My sub can't even start until the day after my due date. Definitely working up until I'm told I can't, or she pops out.

  This is exactly me! My sub had surgery and can't work until the day of my due date. Way to add extra pressure to our pregnancies.

  I'd do it too as long as I was feeling good, and had someone to take me home/to the hospital if necessary.
