When to stop work.

Im only 13 Weeks, just starting to think ahead. Wanted to know when some of you ladies have stopped work. I know it will depend on how I feel etc. I work in a deli and am on my feet running around for about 7 or 8 hours a day. Ive read that if your on your feet for more than 4 hours a day you should look at stopping at 24 Weeks. We are looking at moving to a new town in 4 Weeks and my partner will be on alot of money. So we are kinda starting to think about me just quitting now. Ive hated my job for ages and was applying for new ones when I got preg. I really just wanna get outta there. Lol.

I am a teacher and therefore, on my feet typically 5-7 hours of the day. I worked until 6 days before my due date last time (she arrived on her due date!) and plan about the same this time, depending on how things are going.

I also have an on my feet job and I'm 25 weeks now. I plan to work till I'm physically unable- that's what I tell my clients whenever they ask how long I plan on working. Unless my midwife instructs me to stop any sooner, I'll work up till as close to my due date as possible, again as long as I am physically able. Just take breaks and sit every chance you get, even if it's just for 5 minutes.
