I'm 37 + 5 and still working full time. I work with mentally disabled people and it gets to be very stressful now. I plan to work up till the 15th if my body will let me and I'm due the 21st. This will be my second boy and having a hbac :) so far I've been feeling tired, exhausted, back pain, numbness in legs and arms when sleeping, headaches, and swollen feet. Just overall uncomfortable. Ready to take my leave now! Lol

I am so excited to meet my little boy, I have a 2 year old girl so my hands will be full!!!

Ugh. Im due the 25th and work the overnight shift. Im starting leave a week early. I seriously can't wait! Need to catch up on some normal, nighttime sleep before going into labor.

12 hour days seems intense! Good for you,   sticking it out for this long.

My last day was this past Friday. I was so miserable the last few days. It was hard for me to walk, stand or even sit. But I'm a single mom so I had to keep working. :)... I will be getting induced on Thursday :)

I have been very fortunate my entire pregnancy as I have felt great.  I will say the past two weeks have been starting to become uncomfortable as far as getting out of bed and in and out of the car.  Also started having Braxton hicks and tossing a lot at night but no major complaints.  If only every pregnancy can be like this one!
