How many weeks were you when you took work off or did you work all the way until your baby was born?? Also what kind of job is it like standing physical or sitting like office?????

My last day at work is March 27th and I'm due the 29th. I am a cook at a nursing home and work 40 hrs a week, 8 hour shifts on my feet the whole time and very fast paced. It is getting rough and I am hoping baby decides to come a little early!

I was going to work till monday of this week but last thursday i hit a wall. I thought I was in labor, it became extremely hard to move because of swelling. I was 38+1 and now 39+1. Im a dog groomer so picking up and putting down dogs, onb your feet eight hours and sitting for a half IF lucky. Mu swelling has gone down a lot and bp as well.

I will start my leave 1 1/2 weeks before I'm due. I work in home medical with kids, it's getting hard though since I can't even put my own shoes on anymore.

Nice!!! Maybe I'm a weenie about working lol idk it just feels like horrible after every day of work....

I started my maternity leave the day before I was due. The last 2 weeks were so hard I started to regret not taking it sooner. I'm an assistant manager at McDonald's and because I'm salaried I have to work at least 45 hrs a week. I just didn't want to take mine too early because I only get 8 weeks paid and 4 weeks unpaid so I wanted to have as much time off after the baby as possible. But I made it through work and now I'm 3 days past my due date and being induced in the morning.

I started my Maternity leave at 25 weeks only cause my job required me lifting for 25-30lbs and my manager didnt care i was pregnant and also i had 4 deaths on the family from i was 26 weeks to 28 weeks so my doctor wrote a note for maternity leave till i was 6 weeks post partom but i quit at 4 weeks post partom cause my manager thought i was healed enough to go back to work (i was just wanted the other two weeks off) and when i started he wanted me to go to Edmonton Alberta and work there for 5 months and they were only getting a hotel for me and i couldn't take my kids
