I've had to take almost 3 months off because of my early diagnosis with Hypermesis. I was extremely ill, on bed rest and IV's. So I have no choice but to work until the  very end of my pregnancy.

I stopped working at 33 weeks but only because I had a very physical job. I was a housecleaner for the rich people in the Hamptons on Long Island. There was just way too much bending and lifting and their demands were too high. With my first I was a receptionist and dental assistant and I worked until the very end.

I worked until the day before I went in labor with both my girls. I was actually supposed to work the day I went in labor with my first

38 weeks when my midwives pulled me for medical concerns - will likely make it that far again this time despite the couple of miles I walk every shift.

When I had my daughter last year, I worked up until a week before I had her, I'll probably do the same with my son this year. :)
