When is everyone planning on going on maternity leave?

[BriannaLeigh]

I'll be 27 weeks Thursday and working is becoming such a challenge! Especially because I work in a daycare with some violent children and 11 hour days! I was wondering when other people plan to stop working?

I'm 35 weeks one day, plan on working till he pops. I have a very physical, demanding job and I've been so good until now. I'm dropping my work load by one client a day(I'm a dog groomer) and pretty much only doing my clients until i come back, i get six weeks paid leave and three months total. I hope to be able to take it all.

You ladies are champions. I've reduced my hours to 30hrs a week and the rest is paid on sick leave. I go on maternity leave at 34 weeks. I'll receive 14 weeks paid mat leave plus any holiday pay I have. My work has really good conditions, I'm pretty lucky.

Im 29+4 and I'm working 10 hours a day. I'm working till she gets here I have money saved and will be taking 12 weeks off but if I didn't work Idk what else I would do. It helps me stay busy and of course the money is ALWAYS needed.

I work 52 hours in 2.5 days with 4.5 days off a week because I do a sleep in arrangement for a home of cognitively impaired individuals. Doctor is threatening pulling me from work due to BH, passing out etc. My whole leave is unpaid so I'm going to work as long as I can possibly do so. I'm the breadwinner in our household so me not working is a huge financial hit despite what we've saved up.

I'm 29 weeks and have just switched from full time to part time. My OB advised me to not work the 40+ hours a week, but I have to work up til delivery day due to financial needs.

I'm 29 weeks and will hve to work until my baby girl gets here. I have no maternity pay from either of my jobs so I have to work as much as I can now. It's hard... I work 7 days a week, two jobs, 13 hrs a day. But....I have no choice! I'm praying it'll all change after I have her.

I work in a daycare too. Which means I make peanuts. Anyway, I still plan on working until I cannot. I need the extra cash especially with a c-section recovery.

I'm 27 weeks today and I plan on working up until she gets here. I only get 6 weeks paid time off so I'm using as much as I can once she's here.

I'm 27 weeks and I'm going on maternity leave this coming week. Working has been extremely hard, especially on my feet
