I will be 27 weeks on monday..... i am a nanny for  small children,(6,4,3) working 50+ hr a week..plus doing all the house work, laundry, school, school activities, grocery shopping.. so its alot of work. I am finished work the 6th of june..and my due date is august 18th.

How far along will you be before you stop working?? how many of you are working until the due date??

I'll be working until this kid decides to make his appearance....and will be going back to work as soon as I can after.

My due date is September 17th, but will have a c section scheduled at my next appointment as I have had c sections with both my other two children. So I will be working up until the day before they are going to do the surgery. That is unless this one decides its gonna be sooner than that, which I doubt just because I went over due with both my other two. :-)

I am a teacher and I have worked up until the day before birth with all three of mine... I wish I didn't have to but I would rather take the time after they are born.. have taken a year off with all

With my son I worked up to the day I had him, I did cut my hours. With this One I plan to work my normal hours(35) up intill I POP.....If I could I would stop,but I really need too work. So I wil be going back to work after only 2weeks,if everything goes Ok.

I plan on working right up until the end unless something happens and I can't.  So far so good-I'm due June 8.  I'm only getting 5 weeks off and I want the most time I can have left to be with my baby.  But my job is not strenuous; it's a desk job.  So I'm not lifting anything or moving around a lot.  All the sitting is murder on my swollen feet and ankles, though.  I try to get up and move around sometimes and drink plenty of water.

yeah, i understand!!

My boss, wanted her new nanny to start kind of early so that was part of the reason.. I plan on doing random sitting jobs through out the summer though.

Same for me luvmy2girls, gotta pay the bills. I'm not due until Dec 9th but I plan on working until they tell me I can't. I'm having my 2nd c-section so hopefully everything will go as planned and I won't be off work that long. I think as long as your health and the baby's health are okay then working until your due date is fine. It's just when you have complications. I wish you the best of luck with your busy schedule.

My due date is July 16th which is a Wednesday.  I plan on being done with work the Friday before which is July 11th (also my daughter's birthday).  That's plan atleast for now assuming nothing happens sooner.  It sucks but I have to work to pay the bills ya know?
