Anyone else still working?

Ill be 40 weeks tomorrow and still working. I feel great still. Im a pastry chef and am on my feet 8-9 hours. I really hope LO comes soon soo ready to spend time with LO.

Re: Anyone else still working?

  • Yup I am due on 5/28 and plan on working till baby comes. I don't want to waste any paid time.

  • I am too! Due 5/29, though every day I ask myself how I am going to keep it up. I'm doing it to be able to spend as much time with my baby once he arrives, and I guess it's nice to have a distraction. But it's still tough! Also, if I go before my due date (I don't plan on working after it, regardless of whether my LO is here or not), I'm a bit worried that things won't be wrapped up and I'll have to work a bit at the start of my mat leave, which sort of stinks.

  • Me too. Due 5/31 and working till then. I am a speech therapist at a private school and our graduation is 5/29 so I'm trying to make it through. It has been hard... Trying to wrap everything up before this baby arrives! Also find myself waddling around work most of the time lol.
  • Friday was my last day because I'm getting induce tomorrow. Dumb maternity policy said if I don't work the day before giving birth I will lose a week of maternity pay, so I dragged my butt to work everyday.
