Re: When will you work until?
I planned to work right up until the end but my HR department urged me to go out sooner. They told me that it was part of my FMLA benefits, I would be fully paid, and it would not affect my maternity leave in any, way, shape, or form. Boy was I happy to have those extra few weeks at the end. Commuting was getting super uncomfortable and I was able to get stuff done at home. I went out 3 weeks before my due date.

Same. Worked from home on Monday because I was feeling "off" (early labor I guess) and had her on Tuesday afternoon.
I had no paid time off at all (new job so nothing accured yet) so I wasn't going to waste precious unpaid days off until she was born

Re: When will you work until?
I plan on working up right until labor starts, because I only get 6/8weeks unpaid and no STD benefits, so I can't afford to leave any earlier

Re: When will you work until?
With my first, I worked until 39 weeks. I had him at 40 +1. I'm glad I had that last week to have some me time. If you can leave early I would, even just a few days.

When will you work until?
First time around I worked until the day before my scheduled induction but I had a super easy pregnancy right up to the end. This time around I'm only 14 weeks and its already been so different, I don't imagine I'll make it that far along. I'll make the decision when I get closer depending on how rough things get HA!

I'm planning on working until the end, but I will probably work the last week or so from home - my boss actually encouraged me to consider doing that when I told her I was pregnant.

Re: When will you work until?
With DD1 I worked until 39 weeks. I intended to work until the end, but I was so uncomfortable I couldn't drive anymore. I actually backed into a telephone pole because I couldn't turn around enough to see what was behind me. At that point I made the decision to stop working.
With DD2 I was feeling much better and worked until the day before I gave birth.

Re: When will you work until?
I planned on working until my due date. then i realized it is a thursday, so i might work until 40 +1. unless I go earlier. I would rather spend hte time home with the baby instead of beforehand...
i say this all now and i am 30 weeks.... let's see how crazy uncomfortable I get on my hour long commute each way to and from work though... they won't let me work from home either which is stupid but oh well haha

Re: When will you work until?
With Baby 1 I planned to work until 39 weeks, but she was born at 38 weeks. With Baby 2 I was on modified bed rest due to preterm labor and since I work an extremely physical job I was out at 25 weeks 
If you can swing it, it might be nice to have a little down time before the baby arrives.
