At what time during your pregnancy will you stop working?

I will try to work for as long as I can but I don't think I can work till my due date.

Re: At what time during your pregnancy will you stop working?

I'm 31 weeks and feelign great. My commute isn't too bad. I am actually getting my azz back to the gym today after a 6 week hiatis when I broke my wrist (and it got so damn cold).

So my plan is to work until I pop. My office is closer to my doctor and the hospital than my home is anyway

Re: At what time during your pregnancy will you stop working?

Same here, I will try to work as long as possible, I haven't had any real setbacks (only 11 weeks) just tired. I would much rather have the time off with the baby.

Although a week before delivery, I would love to sit my A$$ on the couch all day! That will probably be the last time for that for years to come

My EDD is may 5th, my last day of work is 4/28. But I am on partial bedrest so who knows what the future brings.

Re: At what time during your pregnancy will you stop working?

Hopefully up to a week before. I have a musical that I am directing a couple of weeks before my due date, so I will be here no matter what. Even if they have to roll me in during labor

Re: At what time during your pregnancy will you stop working?

school ends june 23rd, my EDD is august 6th. it will be so nice to have a few weeks off before the birth without using up my maternity leave (really my sick days).

Re: At what time during your pregnancy will you stop working?

School ends at the end of May for me, and I am due August 23rd. I am not going back in the beginning of August or the rest of the year.

towards the end, i'll have the option of working a couple days from home which will hopefully make things easier.

Re: At what time during your pregnancy will you stop working?

I am out 2 weeks before my edd which is feb 28th.. I needed to be done.. work and the commute was stressing me to the point I felt like a little kid every morning not wanting to go to school.. well worth it.. i have got a lot done and if I can't sleep at night I know I have all day..

Re: At what time during your pregnancy will you stop working?

I'm hoping to be able to work up until I deliver. We'll see though. I am a pharmacist in a hospital, so they will have to have arrangements made already because when I go into labor they'll have to have somebody ready to come in for me.

Re: At what time during your pregnancy will you stop working?

I stopped working 3 weeks to my due date - which is this Saturday!

Re: At what time during your pregnancy will you stop working?

I am hoping to work right up till the end. but I work 2 late nights from 8-8 that I may have to shorten because my back is already killing me after these 2 days at 23 weeks. the other 9-5 days are fine so far...

Re: At what time during your pregnancy will you stop working?

my due date is july 11- but i'm having a c section (most likely) two weeks earlier. i think i'm stopping around may 15th. commuting to the city is already too much and i'm high risk- so there are a bunch of factors working against me on that- i welcome the end of this place though!!!! and i will not be coming back!!!

Re: At what time during your pregnancy will you stop working?

I posted this question on the parenting board to see when most women stopped. They were all Xena Warrior Princesses working til the day they delivered. I am hoping Dr will sign disability forms at 37/38 weeks so I can start collectiing!

Re: At what time during your pregnancy will you stop working?

I was planning on working up until tomorrow, which would be 38 weeks, but after Tuesday when I was bleeding and having contractions, my doctor said he didn't think I should be going to work so my last day was actually last Friday (37 weeks) since we had a snow day on Monday and I didn't go in on Tuesday. Now I'm just hoping this baby comes soon because I don't want to be sitting around for another 2 weeks.

Re: At what time during your pregnancy will you stop working?

I would like to work as close to the end as possible to have more time to spend with the baby during my maternity leave.
