How long before your due date do you plan to work?

Right now I am saying I will work until August 5th (assuming no problems along the way) and I am due August 12th. Is one week of down time enough? I'm exhausted NOW and I'm only 30 weeks!

Do you think that was to much time or not enough?

Re: How long before your due date do you plan to work?

I worked to the very end...I went to work when I was in early laborChat Icon The only reason I did that is because I knew I had to go back to work and I only have 12 weeks of leave. I wanted to spend as much time as I could with the baby...I am so glad I had all that time with her. I really could not stay home anyway I know my mind would be playing tricks on me and I get bored very easy. It would of been really nice though to rest before...in my head I thought if I went 2 weeks late and left work 2 weeks early that was 4 weeks out of my 12Chat Icon

I'm trying to decide whether to work until the friday before my due date or to just wait until I go into labor.

It's already getting hard to drag my butt to work everyday though.

I left work 1 week before my due date. That was enought time for me to relax. Plus I didn't want to use to much of my diability before the baby was here. I also had a job where I could sit and it was not stressful at all.

I sit behind a desk all day so I don't know when I will stop working. I guess if I am ok I will work until I go into labor.

I am thinking 1 week before my due date maybe 10 days-2 weeks depending on how I feel and if the midwife feels like things are progressing. I work 30 miles from home so I don't want to be that far if labor could happen at any minute.

I'm due in January and plan on stopping soon after Thanksgiving. I work as an adjuster for a car insurance and don't really feel comfortable towards the very end walking into body shops. Chat Icon

Re: How long before your due date do you plan to work?

I am going to work up until the END, I hope!!!
I need all the money I can get, and my job is not straining at all. and my boss and co workers are so great to me.

I am actually Running a GOLF tournament 2 weeks before my due date, so my boss is so nervous I wont make it and doesnt want me to do too much,
I think I will be fine, so we will see!!!

good luck everyone!!

Re: How long before your due date do you plan to work?

Well, my Doctor wants me to stop working at 32 weeks (twins) but I really don't want to go out that early cuz that counts toward my time off. So I will probably continue until I absolutely can't.
With my son I worked until a week before my due date.

My last day of work is tomorrow. I will be 36 weeks on Saturday. So I basically took the last month off... I need it. I work in Manhattan and the 2 hour commute each way is killing me!

Re: How long before your due date do you plan to work?

I plan to commute into work until 38 weeks (an hour each way) and after that I will be "working from home" - thankfully my boss is letting me do this...otherwise I would have commuted till the bitter end!! I'd rather have more time with the baby plus I think i'd be bored out of my mind sitting at home all day long.

Re: How long before your due date do you plan to work?

My original intent was to work until the day I gave labor, but after having quite a few problems, I ended up stopping work in the beginning of May (nearly 3 months before my due date.)
