I finished at 38 weeks and had no hassles working up to that date. I would have worked longer except Lucy was due early January and our offices shut down over Christmas.

I worked till 28 weeks with Maya as I had severe SPD and my job involved a lot of sitting and they weren't flexible with working around me not being able to sit for hours on end.

Worked to 34 weeks with the gremlins which horrified my OB but there was no one to take over my job till then. To be honest by the end my brain wasn't really with it and I was just muddling thru which is tough for me coz I love my job and I hate not being able to give 100%.

Am finishing at 36 weeks this time round (five weeks to go tomorrow!) and while I still love my job and would be happy to work till closer to my EDD, I'm looking forward to having a few weeks to spend hanging out with the gremlins before baby arrives. Assuming my midwife is wrong and baby doesn't come early that is

I'm working up to week 38 and having a ceasar at week 39. Will have one week to relax before bubba arrives. My partner is in Europe for a wee while so wanted to stay around people for as long as possible

I am finishing tomorrow at 35 weeks. Having a week of annual leave then going on PPL.
To be honest I feel really good, I really thought I'd be completely knackered by now. I am looking forward to relaxing and having me time before bub's arrival though. I am a kindergarten teacher and have lots of standing and sitting time, which is good!

I cut down to four days a week about a month ago and am planning on finishing up at 34 weeks - mostly cause that ties in with my company's end of financial year so just makes it all easier for everyone concerned.

I had to cut back my hours cause I was finding work waaay too stressful and was pretty much on the verge... can't beleive the difference it made and really made me re-evaluate! I don't feel guilty at all leaving early now
