With my first I had worked up until the very last minute. Had a full shift one day and then had my son the next. This time around I'm thinking the same thing you are. Maybe (if you're up to it) go until the week before you due date. You know your body better than anyone else :) do whatever you feel comfortable with

I am only 27 weeks and still fine working but it is getting harder as the weeks go by. I am intending to go off work at 36 weeks by using 3 weeks leave and then starting my maternity leave after that.  I am taking 12 months off. As u r only taking 12 weeks I wud try and hold on as long as you can but at the same time if u feel u cant keep going I wudnt push it. You need to b feeling your best for you and the baby! Good luck with everything! X
