Are you guys still working

I'm starting to not sleep well my feet are swollen and hurt when I stand and it hurts to bend I feel like I'm bloated and feels like I'm carrying a humongous ball of water on my belly.  28 weeks I wanted to work till I have baby because I meet the money and wanted as much time after with baby as possible. Are you giusto still working?

I wanted to work until I popped but my dr gave me a note so I qualify for paid medical leave and after baby is born I can start my maternity leave I started medical in my 1st trimester and I'm 36 weeks now and I miss work

I will be 39 weeks friday and i am still working. I do have a desk job but I do the office (courthouse, mail, bank and several other erands dailey) so my feet are killing me by lunch even just sitting there and I no longer have ankles lol. But I'm pretty sure this will be my last week due to doc said baby might be here Tuesday or Wednesday via c section.

I'm 35 weeks and have to stop working except for once a week. Every woman is different. Some ladies can work until the day of, and I am not one of those ladies. I hurt so much and can't move around, and my job is pretty physical. I don't think I'd be able to work even if I had a sit down job, because my back hurts when I sit for longer than 20 minutes. Oh pregnancy.

I stopped working at 36 weeks my job was super physical and I just couldn't lift all the weight they were asking of me min was 50 lb and do all the things so that's the only reason I stopped working when I did... but each person is different good luck and congratulations!

I am almost 34 weeks and still work full time. I work a 5 am to 130 shift. Very physical job. I don't lift the way inused to but I am on my feet all day unloading trucks, stocking, and building things. My feet are killing me by the end of my work day and are constantly swollen.
