Re: How long do you expect to be working before you take leave???

My job is not physically demading at all, nor is it stressful. I plan to work until the last possible minute unless I am extremely uncomfortable or I am instructed by the doc to stay home.

I also work FOR my dad and with my sister- so they could always drive me to the hospital

Re: How long do you expect to be working before you take leave???

I hope to work till the end... I work in a school as well and Im due June 18 which is finals week... so if I go out a little earlier that'll be okay... anyway I'm hoping DS comes a little early this way I have all of June July and August with him!

Re: How long do you expect to be working before you take leave???

I work in an office, but I hope to finish at 36 weeks so I have a few weeks to myself before the baby comes.

Re: How long do you expect to be working before you take leave???

I'm pretty much working until the end. If I haven't delivered by 41 weeks then I'll stop working. I sit at a desk though so there is no physical demand for me.

Re: How long do you expect to be working before you take leave???

I'm due Thurs 4/16 -
My last day in the office is Friday 4/10 -

I'm getting tired of the commute to NYC -

Re: How long do you expect to be working before you take leave???

Knock on wood but I hope to work until the end. I get 15 weeks and would like to spend them with instead of sitting on the couch, not getting paid. I work in an office, very little stress and activity so I think it should be fine...The only thing is that I work 1.5hrs away from my hospital...that scares me a little!

Re: How long do you expect to be working before you take leave???

As long as possible...Even though that means taking the LIRR and subway in June, July and some of August, ughhhhh

Re: How long do you expect to be working before you take leave???

My job is not physically demanding at all, I sit at a desk most of the day, so I am going to work until the end if I can.

My friend who is a nurse , she stopped working the end of her 8th month, she just couldn't do it anymore, she was on her feet all day

Re: How long do you expect to be working before you take leave???

My EDD is 7/27 and since I just started a new job in January, I don't get any sick, personal or vacation days for six months so I hope I'm still working to July 5th.

I also won't be eligible for paid disability after delivery (only 5 or 7 weeks) if I don't make it until that date.

Re: How long do you expect to be working before you take leave???

I am due tomorrow and sitting at my desk hahahaha....

Re: How long do you expect to be working before you take leave???

I plan on leaving about 3 weeks before. My job isn't demanding, I'm at a desk most of the time. But I drive 2 hrs each way into the city every day and at 30 wks I barely fit behind the steering wheel already.

God willing...i plan on working up until the day i give birth. my co-workers joke around that they'll be the ones to drive me to the hospital instead of DH.

i only get 8 weeks so i want to make sure i spend ALL of that time with the baby instead of staying at home waiting for him/her to arrive.

Re: How long do you expect to be working before you take leave???

I'm a teacher and I have summers off so my last day is June 26th and my baby isn't due till Aug 5th so I'll have time to TRY to relax and get things ready before my little one comes

Re: How long do you expect to be working before you take leave???

My job isn't that physically demanding I am at a desk all day but I am planning, god willing, to work up until the very end!
