 Topic: Who is working right through?
Posted: 12 April 2006 at 1:21pm |

I am planning on working through til about three weeks before. I have quite an easy job. I did with my first but am finding I am so much more tired and easily knackered with this time around!!!
(do you think that has something to do with age...I dont think I am that old!!!)

I'm finishing up a month before hand...I think I'd be too knackered to work through and I want some time to chill before bubs comes. 
That said I'll probably end up bored silly!

With Paige I finished work on the Friday and was to have 3 weeks off organising all the bits I had forgotten... She arrived the following Tuesday. I dont want this to happen again so hopefully three weeks before due date will be fine!!!

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.... Oh baby? hehe

Yah I think if you have a sitting down job then you will be sweet! (I am an accountant, so as you can see spend loads of time on Oh baby...he he ha ha).

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!) With this one its hard because my job is only part time and just behind a desk but i want to have a break first but then I might go early again so if I plan for that I could finish to early and end up sitting around being bored and just counting the hours

I'm due on the 18th Sep and all going to plan and no complications, I'm planning for my last day to be the 1st which is around 2 1/2 weeks before my due date. We really need the money and I would rather be off work with my baby than waiting around for him/her to appear!! Of course if we could afford it, it would be a whole different story!!

Yeah I'm a little stressed about the money side but I figure I'm knackered as it is! Hopefully it will all be fine!

I'm working until a month before I'm due. Mostly because I'm starting to hate everyone here and would rather not see them by the time I'm really irritable!

Pepsi..that sounds so funny!!!
Having to worry about money really is the pits....In a perfect world we wouldnt have too aye!! We have to try and save our pennies. I dont really want to go back to work after baby is born!!!!
At least now there is a wee bit of help from the powers that be in this country for a few months!!!

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.

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 was due to 11th aug but finished 29th June, this was manly because Im a chef and was expected to do 10 hours shifts with no breaks standing all day!
I recon 3 weeks should be enough
