I am the same as Emma - I would rather have the time off with bubs than finishing up early before hand.

Thanks Chonny. have been in touch with teh Ak Central Multiple Birth club and the lady I spoke to was really nice. Her twins are the same type as what they think mine are, and she has a similar age gap between her twins and her older child that we will have with Maya and our twins, so it was really good to talk to her. they're sending me some info, registration forms etc.]]> Thu, 13 Apr 2006 11:37:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2124&PID=39554&title=who-is-working-right-through#39554 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2124&PID=39550&title=who-is-working-right-through#39550 Author: chonny

Congratulations Emma! Hadfn't clicked to you expecting two! They are exciting, if you are in auckland, i will give you details of someone to contact if you haven't already for multiple birth club. Great people, excellent help. Yea my boss is pretty flexible, has asked me back, so i'm sure if baby came early there would be no problem, also my best friend is working for me while i'm away, so again call and she's there.]]> Thu, 13 Apr 2006 11:26:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2124&PID=39550&title=who-is-working-right-through#39550 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2124&PID=39548&title=who-is-working-right-through#39548 Author: Maya

I finished work at 28 weeks with Maya as I had SPD and my job required long periods of sitting and they weren't prepared to be flexible with breaks etc.

But this time I plan to work right up until the babies arrive, the benefit of working from home. It means I can rest when I am tired and work when I feel well. Plus am figuring I will need the time off more after the babies arrive than before hand!]]> Thu, 13 Apr 2006 11:17:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2124&PID=39548&title=who-is-working-right-through#39548 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2124&PID=39540&title=who-is-working-right-through#39540 Author: Kelpa

2 weeks should be fine but talk to your employer (as baby has the plan when they are coming out) and say from 4 weeks before your due date you may have to give notice 24 hours in advance... or things might start happening and if there is someone available to cover. ]]> Thu, 13 Apr 2006 07:06:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2124&PID=39514&title=who-is-working-right-through#39514 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2124&PID=39506&title=who-is-working-right-through#39506 Author: chonny

Hi
My last day is going to be the 23rd of June and Im due on the 27th. So hopefully he is not early. Im only having 4 months off so I want to have as much time as possible with our baby. I get bored really easily and am impatient so i wouldnt enjoy being home for a while before + my husband works from home and I think i would drive him mad if I had a few weeks off before hand. Hopefully the time will go faster if I work. Im an accountant too so sitting at my desk all day is fine - and my boss is prepared that things might change closer to the time, so luckly if i need to finish early I can.

I don't work... I'm a SAHM... but I do cook dinner and desert for the local branch of the Lion's Club twice a month. I told them last night I could do it until their last meeting in August (probably last week of August), which means that if Baby comes early, I'm not going to leave them in the lurch. So that's 6 weeks before I'm due.]]> Wed, 12 Apr 2006 16:17:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2124&PID=39415&title=who-is-working-right-through#39415 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2124&PID=39411&title=who-is-working-right-through#39411 Author: mrs frantic

I planned to leave 3 weeks before hand with Kobe but he came 6 weeks early so I didnt get a chance to rest before he arrived (or train my replacement!)

Yea I'm working up until 3 weeks before hand too.

Mostly cos we want to get as much money as possible before finishing! lol
And also, I think three weeks rest is plenty provided bubs doesn't arrive too early if early at all.

I think anything from 3-4 weeks is good. And I don't have a stressful job at all. My whole day consists of sitting at my desk by the computer on....
