Working up until your due date?

posted 15th Dec '11
I am 35 weeks and was wondering if any of you ladies worked or are working right up until your due date? I originally wanted to cut out early from working a week before my due date to give me a little buffer but it seems like my employer is going to give me a hard time about that. I am just really nervous I don't want to go into labor at work I'd probably have a panic attack!

I am due mid April and I do income taxes so I am hoping to work right up until going into labour because we will be super busy and I want to get all the hours I can for maternity leave. I am nervous about working until that time but I figure if worse comes to worse one of my co worker will have to drive me the 45 minute drive to the hospital

I am having a c-section on Monday, January 16th, and I plan to work until either the Friday or Saturday before that. I worked right up until before I had all of my kids, except for my daughter, who was born 13 weeks early.

With my first I worked until I had her.
I would've worked the day she came but I woke up in labor about an hour before my alarm was supposed to go off.

With my first child I didn't... I was in the military and they let me stop working about 4 weeks before I had her. My second child I worked up to the day before I had him. With my third I worked up to about a week before I was due.

When I was pregnant with my son, I worked up until he was born. I started going into labor at 2am on his due date, lol. I'm fixing to have a baby girl within the next 2 or 3 weeks, I requested maternity leave to start on the 25th of this month.. But honestly I'm not sure when she'll decide to be here.. She's already weighing heavier & looks to be a week ahead.. hah.

Im working pretty much up until my due date (jan 7th) but I work fridays and saturdays, so my due date is on a sat lol so its probably up until the 31st of dec. no shame in working up until labor, the more active YOU are the easier labor will be
