working moms?

I'm at 25 weeks and I work as a caregiver. Did any other moms work while pregnant? For how long? I don't want to go into labor in a residents room

With my first I worked up until my water broke. And I plan to do the same with this baby. I'm a toll collector and have to work long hours stand for long periods of time and lift a lot of money at once and stretch to what feels like ungodly lengths. But to each their own

I'm a bartender/waitress and I'm 31 weeks and I already told my boss I'm done at 37 weeks since for me that lines up with the end of January and is when pregnancy is considered full term.

I was a care giver fir disabled people. I worked half way into may then went on leave and had my son start of July. The only reason I went of early was because some of the residents was violent and I was no where near prepared to have him so I used those 7 weeks to buy everything and get everything ready for him. It's when ever you feel ready tho I found that doing 14 hours a day was becoming to much by the end of the night I would get home eat dinner at ten go bed be up and ready for 8 and do the same again.
