I'm working up until my due date. I did it with my first before I was induced and I'm doing it with this one. You can choose whenever or ask your Dr.

I plan on my contractions starting while I'm at work...sadly...that's the most likely place. I spend more time here than I do at home.

Everyone is different. Some people work up until their due date. You can ask your doctor what they suggest is right for you. It also depends on what type of work you do and the support system you have at work. To go back to work though you need 4-6 weeks to recover

I think that is something only your doctor can tell you. But with my 1st pregnancy I worked up until I went into labor. With this pregnancy I am hoping I can work up until labor but I don't know cuz I am having twins and I am very short so I am hoping my doctor doesn't put me on bed rest when I get bigger.

My mom is a neurosurgeon and when she was mid-operation her contractions just started. She finished operation and was taken to the maternity ward where she delivered my sister later that night. Theres no time you HAVE to stop (unless medically necessary) just depends what you choose.
