I would have worked until my due date since I didn't have enough vacation time and they are not entitled to let you have any weeks before unless your doctor puts you out. I had Gestional Diabetes and my doctor was going to put on Short Term Disability 2 weeks before. I took 2 weeks vacation so I had extra time before. The long commute into NYC and the long hours I worked were the reason I had to go out sooner.

Until my water breaks...seriously...I want to use all of my days for after I give birth...I have a feeling one of my co-workers is going to take me to the hospital, which is not that far away from where I work anyway.

I WAS going to do this. But you really have to see how you feel in the long run. I had it all planned out and everything. Then I just started to fall apart, went to my 36 week appointment and was dilating, so here I am, at home, at 37 weeks.

I had enough vacation time to take off this month, stinks because I wanted to use it on the back end, but my commute and the stress of my jpb was too much on my body.

Re: When will you stop working?

My intention is to work up until the end if I can. My due date is 5/28 so I am hoping that my last day will be 5/25 - then I get the weekend and Memorial day off. We'll see where we are at then. I have a feeling he might be a little late so that week I will play by ear. I just want to save all my time for when he is actually here.

Re: When will you stop working?

I'm due in a week and a half and I am still hanging in there...I'm a special ed teacher and luckily they gave me my leave replacement to train so I have extra hands in the classroom...I plan to work until at least my due date (if I don't go earlier!)

Re: When will you stop working?

I left work 3 weeks before my due date. I for some reason thought I was going to go early. Wishful thinking though.
