I worked as a CNA on an end-stage dementia unit until 38 weeks with my first and only stopped because I developed severe edema and my blood pressure was spiking so my midwives told me I had to take it easy for the last two weeks, my son was born perfectly healthy and right on time.
Now I'm an RN and will likely work just as long this time around unless complications arise.

Currently 24 weeks working in a dog grooming salon, doctor put me on a weight restriction but I'm thinking about taking my leave soon. It's stressful, dangerous, I'm having back problems and there are unsafe cleaning chemicals.

I'm 13 weeks and a server, and even though it's an extremely stressful and physically straining job, I want to keep working as long as possible, just to get as much as possible in savings, plus then I get more tube one my baby arrives (: I plan on working until week 38 but it depends how my body feels towards the end

I wanted to work up until my due date.. I'm 38+5 today but I started to bleed one day with horrible cramp pains and decided to stop working at week 36 so I can take it easy.

I stopped around 8 weeks. But i was working around dangerous chemicals, heavy lifting, and had a lot of problems with bleeding in the beginning. When i first found out i was pregnant i ended up having "a period" and the doc said i miscarried. But blood work n ultrasound saidotherwise.
