With my 1st I stopped at 36 weeks bc I had severe galbladder attacks and was told if I had one more they would do emergency surgery and take my son in the process and I was working as a manager at a fast food place. This time around I worked until 1pm with my contractions being 8 min apart 3 hours was at the hospital by 2:30pm and my daughter came at 8:14pm.

34 weeks is when I stopped. I was on my feet 9+ hours a day and was starting to get contractions. My plan was to work until I was close to due date but, I get 6 months paid leave anyway.

I'm 33 weeks but I'm going to keep going until hopefully... Um... Omg I don't have many weeks left!! Maybe 36 or 37. It's a part time retail but it still requires a lot of physical activity. I hate going up ladders and step stools. We have to bend and reach a lot when putting the clothes away, and stand or be on feet for 4 hours at a time. I'm wanting to raise the white flag NOW! Lol. It all depends on your job, and your pregnancy

I am 37 week and still working and will probably continue to work until I go into labor.

I left work a week before my due date and didn't go into labor for two weeks. You should work as long as you're comfortable.
