Question: When to go on Leave from work

Hey ladies! Question, what would be the best week to stop working .. For example 34, 35, 36, and so on? I'm 34 weeks I'll be 35 on Saturday and I feel fine to work.. My job gives me 3 paid months of leave so I rather take it with the baby than by myself in bed. I'm thinking of taking my leave at 38 weeks, but I've heard so many stories about women who go into labor 2 or 3 weeks before. Ahh I'm so confused :(

I'm 36 weeks, and plan to continue work until 39 weeks plus, or until labor starts on its own, whichever comes sooner. But that's mainly because my work doesn't give paid leave, and we need all the income we can get right now.

It's up to how you feel. You can work up to your due date and want to, go ahead. Give someone at work you trust all you emergency contact infob just in case.

I worked until the last minute with my first. But this time I'm leaving 3 weeks before my due date just because I want to spend time with my oldest. But is up to how you feel.
