finishing up work

[Kel03]

This is my first pregnancy (currently 27 weeks). I've already been advised i won't be getting medical clearance to continue to work full time hours in office past 34 weeks... but I'm in a very demanding job which causes me so much stress and i am truly becoming exhauted. Would it be wrong of me to finish up earlier?

Inform your boss that u are planning to take off early.  Can u bring any work home with you?  I found working from home is less stressful

Thanks ladies, i work in sports and manage 2x large programs. My work are yet to even interview for my replacement but i feel it's all becoming a bit too much as my hours aren't exactly 9-5 instead I'm doing about 50hr weeks.
I have a heap of TOIL so might look at cutting down to 3 days a week until i finish up... i just have A LOT of pressure to get all programs up and running before i go.

You should do whatever is best for you and bub. It's best not to push yourself too much. I managed a fashion store so I was on my feet for 8 hours a day. At around 25 weeks I cut my hours down from 38 to 30. Then at 30 weeks I cut down to 25. On my last week I did 20 hours, I finished up at 34w3d.

Not at all. I'm 24 weeks and work in a salon standing all day. I was that exhausted I ended up in hospital 3 weeks ago. I've since returned to work but on a part time basis. From 41 hours to 16. Yours and babies health should come first xx
