work??

I'm trying to figure out a good time to take off work. I'm 35 weeks now and starting to get very uncomfortable while working. More aches and pains than when I'm home. When did you ladies take off or plan to take off??

I was pulled from work at 38 weeks with my last pregnancy, on order from my midwives, after my blood pressure spiked and I developed extremely severe edema. Worked full time on my feet till then in a high stress physically demanding job. If you are concerned, check with your doctor!

I agree with LucyMarie, I'm 35 weeks today and my last day is June 7th. I'm uncomfortable at work too so I've cut down to about 4 days a week. Listen to your body hun.

I plan to finish work at 37+5. But I will be doing a lot of sitting at a till serving customers at that point. Listen to your body and take your mat leave whenever you feel you can't work anymore. I want two weeks before baby comes just to get last minute things sorted.

I was pulled off out of work for my first and third pregnancy.   I worked until 32 weeks with my second.   I'm 29 weeks and still working.   I'm trying to go as long as I can.  Maybe 30-35 weeks.  I'm starting to get sore at work too.
