When are you going to go on leave from work?

I am trying to figure out when I should go on leave. I would continue to work from home, but when should I stop seeing clients. I have appointments booked through week 36 of my pregnancy. I don't know if I should book more appointments or see how I feel. I am so confused about this. TIA for your opinions/comments. Chat Icon

Re: When are you going to go on leave from work?

I'm having a c-section on Friday and I am working until Thursday. If I wasn't having the c-section, the plan was to work until I gave birth. I have been feeling really good- so I didn't see the need to sit at home and wait for the baby. Since I am going back to work and only have a limited amount of time off- I want to spend every minute with my little girl.

Re: When are you going to go on leave from work?

I am confused on what to do with this as well. I wanted to stop a week before my due date but what if he comes late. I don't want to take time off early, cuz the earlier you stop the earlier you have to go back.

Re: When are you going to go on leave from work?

My last day of work was set to be one week before my due date. BUT... I had been working primarily from home for several weeks at that point, just coming into the city once a week to meet with people, etc.

Turned out I never came in for that last day, I ended up giving birth!

Re: When are you going to go on leave from work?

I'm planning on going on as long as possible. I do not want to be home anxiously waiting for my due date, and would rather distract myself by coming in to work. Thankfully, I haven't had any complains with my pregnancy up until now (32 weeks). And if all goes well, I will be able to use spend all maternity leave in company of our baby, and not a moment sooner.

As long as I can. I want most of my maternity leave to be after the baby is born. I will tell my job to schedule me up until 39 wks then if I haven't had the baby and all is well I might come in for xtra hours if the need me.

Re: When are you going to go on leave from work?

My last day was this past friday and I'm due April 19th. I didnt want to work any more than that even though I feel great, it is just so busy at work and the longer I am their the more stressed I get because I dont have a lot of faith in the girl that took my position so it was better that I left a week and a half early .

I planned on taking a week off before my first was due, but he had other plans and arrive nearly 3 weeks early. So in essence, I worked up until a friday and he was born on a Sunday.

I am working up to my due date. I told my job after that, I'm done -- even if the baby isn't here yet.

I am working as long as I can, however since I am carrying twins my doctor said be prepared for bedrest towards the end of my pregnancy. I will follow whatever he instructs me to do. If i can i will try and work from home during that time, but it might be a little hard if I am told to not get up.
