How long is everyone working?

I was just wondering how long everyone plans to work. And what your doctor had to say. I'm an assistant manager at a bank. My store manager has quit, leaving everything to fall on me. While working in a bank doesn't sound like a stressful job, it is very demanding. I am 37w today and was going to try to work until I went until labor. I've started having these pains in my pelvic region making it extremely hard to walk. Due to everything I'm being asked to

My job will give me up to 4 months disability before.the due date and 3 months once the baby is born. I'm hoping this is my last pregnancy so I will try to take a month or two before baby is due and enjoy being being pregnant. To you I say if you don't need the money as much stay home now. I can see how working at,a bank can be stressful and demanding.

My due date is Dec 19th and the 14th will be my last day at work. I work in childcare. I'm hoping I last until then cause I'm having the pelvic pain as well and I've dilated 1cm.

I'm working til labor. All my paid time has to be used for my leave so if I take it now its less time I get to spend with her after. Thankfully I sit at a desk all day
