I'm a FTM too & I am going to work until it's close to my due date. I can't just sit around, my job has me on my feet all day

I'm working till I pop. I'm a cashier and always on my feet but it doesn't bother me to much. So I'm good for now but i know my limits. I'm due in Nov.

I'm 34 week's tomorrow and I'm still working, I work as cashier and sometimes do have to move back and forth with order's but sometimes I feel good and sometimes I feel horrible, I just don't wanna be at home bored when I can just be at work instead. So I'm working until I feel like I can't anymore

I have an office job as well, i have my own office.
And I'm going to work till I have my baby,  then take a week or two off. But I can still do most of my work from home.  And pop in and out of the office maybe 2 hrs a day.  Then when the baby is a month old I'll take her with me to work.  My work is child friendly, family friendly place... i think I have it planned out. This will be my second child. My first is 11 yrs old. And some times I bring her to work with me.

Not at all! I am in my last week of work and I will be 38 weeks when I leave! I do work on my feet and trust me sometimes it's exhausting but it's what I decided to do. I'm only leaving at 38 weeks because as of now I will be induced at 39 weeks for health reasons. Everyone I work with or know tells me I'm crazy especially because I do have to work on my feet non stop but I feel great. Just know your limits and if you feel like you need to leave don't fight your body.
