working til end of pregnancy?

Hi, I'm just wondering is anyone out there also working well into the ninth month? I mean I'm just asking because I stand most of the day with a 30 min break in between and I don't know if it's wrong of me to want to take my maternity leave already..? But I'm debating it because I also need my paycheck.

I worked until the night before my water broke.i was actually suppoaed to be working the night it did break.but something told me I shouldnt work that night! As a restaurant manager I wouldve been the only manager there abd wouldntve been able to leave without having to wait for another manager to come in for me.the last few weeks were really hard though.with a stand-up job,my tailbone hurt like hell! But every woman is different and if its too much just ask your doctor to write a letter relieving you from work.btw my water broje at 37wks6days! Good luck on your delivery!
