How long did you/will you work?

I'll work up to my due date but I have a desk job so not on my feet much.

I currently work 50+ hours a week so will start cutting down on hours from about 37 weeks onward and also take a days leave if I just dont feel up to it.

Both my kids were born a week early. I worked up til 39w with A & had went into labour early the next morning

With C I worked up til 36 weeks, just cause Xmas was in the way & this time I wanted to make sure I got some me time before #2 came along.

worked till nearlly 38 weeks and had bubs at 38 5 days - so only got a long weekend really but happy with that would have got so bored otherwise

I am currently a shift worker, we work 11.5 shifts, four on four off. My start times are either 430am or 530am or occasionally 4pm or 5pm, but have tried to swap as many or the nights out as poss...

So I am planning to finish at about 33/34 weeks and use my annual leave to get paid until beginning of Jan...

I hope I last that long!!!

I'm planning on leaving at 34 weeks and using up my months annual leave I will have owing to pay me to the start of January. I am on my feet most of the day and I can see it starting to get too much. I may have to cut my hours back prior to that.

i will keep working till i feel ready im currently 33 weeks (tomorrow) in a job on my feet etc all day .. but don't have any bothers or reason to finish up yet! in saying that im not 'huge' nor have any medical problems eg swelling etc.. to be honest it will be harder to get me 2 even finish haha!!! i love my job and get soo bored during the days etc if im not working. but im guessing i will finsh up around 38 -39 weeks!!

So many people say that they get bored at home! Are you guys just waaay more organised than me? I'm kept busy as doing things like (for the first time in five years or so) discovering what's in the bottom of my freezer (it wasn't pretty). Or do you just find stuff like that really boring (I can understand that...) Not, of course, that it matters at all, I'm just curious.

My job is great, I think I'm really lucky to have it, but I'm really enjoying the time at home too!

well my plans have already changed....my depression has come back and that combined with morning sickness means I have just resigned at 13w4d

i'm intending to finish work at 36 weeks, but am dropping down to 4 days a week from 32 weeks. I have a really busy, stressful job that just takes takes takes as much as you're prepared to give...and I'm inclined to give a lot. So if I don't force myself to slow down then stop, it won't be good. Plus I commute two hours a day. I'm overweight and have BP issues and an increased risk of GD and although everything is ging really well at the moment I need to be sensible in case the wheels fall off towards the end. Also, the mw has told me she thinks I'll be induced at 38 or 39 weeks so finishing a few weeks before that will be good. I feel very lucky that I have five week annual leave owing which helps me afford to finish when I do...I really feel for people who have to work right unil the end because of financial pressure, rather than because they want to.

Until 39 weeks with number 1 (went 2 weeks over)

Until 39 weeks 5 days with number 2 (part time work only though).   She was born at 40 weeks 3 days.
