When are you...
taking leave from work?
I work as an autism consultant for a school system (travel to 12 schools and deal with stressful meetings/parent conversations on a daily basis) and am planning on trying to make it to the end of the school year...I will be 31wks at that point.
But, I am starting to wonder if I will make it that long since it is already kind of hard on me now

Re: When are you...
I was planning on working until the end like I did for my first pregnancy, but am thinking that may not happen anymore. Twins really is so different from a single pregnancy. I am on my feet all day at work and do heavy lifting and a lot of physical activity. I only work p/t but at the end of my workday I feel like my body is falling apart. My midwife and dr have both recommended stopping in a few weeks. I am aiming to make it to at least 30 weeks because I have some projects to finish. Pay isn't an issue for me because I won't be getting anything at all.

Re: When are you...
I am 32 weeks and still commute into Brooklyn everyday via the LIRR. Not fun but it's still manageable for now.
Even though I have a high-stress job, I plan to work until the end.

Re: When are you...
i stopped working around 33 weeks, i am a teacher but i take a lot of stairs as each period i have a different class i have to pick up
i also got very sick and ended up in the hospital that week,
but i never had any intention of going till the end, i know i need to rest my body, my huge belly just wears me out,

Re: When are you...
OK, thanks everyone! I will be 31wks at the end of the school year. It doesn't really matter when I leave, pay wise, because I have enough sick days to get me to the end of the year and then I am quitting.
I don't even think it is the physical part, as much as how much stress I am under. I will just keep trying to pay attention to how I feel.
Thanks!
