I'm planning on working until 38 weeks...although my husband works, I have been working overtime so we can have rent and my car paid a few months in advance...I want to be able to enjoy my baby and 2 older kids without having to worry about bills. I will have enough stress trying to figure out how to handle 3 kids lol

My little girl is due Dec 17th and I plan to stop working on Dec 5th. So that is about a week and a half before my due date. I also plan to take 8 weeks of leave from my job but I also have another income to help so I don't have to worry about saving as much before hand but I am in school so I still have that to deal with as well. Plan a budget for when your baby is due and figure out what things you will need/have to make sure to get taken care of and what help you'll have. It might help you feel better about when a good time ot leave will be, my husband and I did the same thing :)

I'm 37 weeks today and still am working full time in a nursing home as a nurse. I don't get maternity leave so when I have my baby, I will be off without pay for 6 weeks.
