I'll be 36 weeks tomorrow. I wanted to know how far did u ladies work up to?? And if u had complications or not  

[schenner2]

[kelloges]

Im 35 weeks tomorrow i finish today as i saved up all my holiday leave  so using that then im due march 6th am my mertity pay kicks in the 2nd of march

The 4 weeks before is a take it or lose it deal cause the last month is the most uncomfortable for most women and can have the baby at any time. Not too sure when the 6 weeks starts but it has to be after the baby is born. becca87C

I'm from California and have been wondering about that, I only quality for Paid disability leave because I haven't been with the company for a year or the 1250 hrs they require. But I've heard I get 4weeks prebaby and 6weeks post, I was wondering if I take less before if I can use those post partum. Also if I do take those 4 pre baby weeks and I have him a week or two into those 4 weeks if my 6 weeks start then and there or not begin until the date I should have been due? With my other two boys I just stopped working so I've never had to worry about going back to work or seeing how much time I got off...if you know the answers to these questions that would be great. TIA

I was told it's up to me. I'm 37+4 and still working full time

Good question and these answers help give me some peace of mind. I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and at work I'm on my feet all day. The work isn't too strenuous and I feel good still except my feet are huge and my shoes don't fit. Lol I hear a lot of women saying they work until the last day to spend more time with baby but the time you take off before your EDD doesn't change the time you get off after, at least here in Cali. You still get the bonding time+ disability+ whatever time off u have accrued over the year. So I'm still debating.... I want time off before the baby but I been saying this will be my last week. Still unsure. Although I haaaate my job. Idk...damn

[emerlyx]

I am planning on working until Feb 20th. Due on the 24th!!! So far so good. I'm tired and my back is sore but my boss has been awesome about it.

With my other 2 I struggled working past 30weeks. I found it much easier to stop than carry on. Thankfully this one I don't have payed work to give up. Although a 24/7 mum to2 under 5 is not a walk in the park but no boredom. :-)

[danielleconte]

I'm 30 weeks today and due April 7, I teach and plan on working until April 2. Hopefully that works out! Good luck to everyone!

[Skyseyes]

Depends on how easy or hard my pregnancies are. My first, second, and third I worked up until a few days before csections. This one i stopped at 20 weeks due to bp and  having extreme pain.

[Momma_keah27]

Yesterday I made 34 wks. My back does hurt if I stand to long other then that I dont have any complications. My last day of work will be the 22nd if Feb.

[Eevee_moon]

I stopped at 36 weeks.  I felt like my Co workers were lazy and I was hauling *** at 8 months pregnant so I decided to take it off and have them pull their own weight

[nana070710]

I stopped at 27 weeks low blood pressure was passing out and i had a boss from hell who wouldnt give me off for my drs so i stopped working

[TheeMothership]

I'm 35 weeks, left work yesterday at noon because of contractions... Home on rest today, giving the choice to my boss if he wants me there to do half my job or not at all. Luckily I'm on salary, unfortunately contractions haven't stopped either.

[jjolfert]

I stopped at 35 weeks but it was too long for me. I didn't end up having baby until 40+6 so I was super bored.

[Shanz04]

I am 31+4 and theologian is to work up until delivery. I only get 12 weeks and want all of it to be with baby here.  I am having some issues with headache and blood pressure though so hopefully i can make it that long.

[teamskylar]

[febmommy27]
