Working up until due date

[melany115]

How many people have worked up until their due date? Im 33 weeks tomorrow and trying to keep working but everyday is starting to feel like a struggle. I get to sit all day at a desk but im still so uncomfortable and tired. :(

I'm currently 37 weeks and work full time as a cake decorator so I'm on my feet all day. I plan on working til I pop. My feet hurt by the end of the day and I do have to get help from my coworkers lifting heavier objects and such but Nothing that makes me think I can't keep going til the end. I had a vacation 2 weeks ago and my feet got pretty swollen and as soon as I went back to work they were back to normal so I almost feel better being there and it passes the time faster than being home waiting. But everyone is different, if you're that uncomfortable you shouldn't push it, just start your leave early.

I plan on working until 37 weeks, Im 30 weeks now. I did cut my hours this week. I went from over 50 hours a week to a little over 40. I'm on my feet all day and my back was start to kill me after a 10 hour shift.

I'm 37 weeks now and I have 1 more week left at work. I'm still feeling pretty good, but it does get harder as you get closer. I teach college, so I'm on my feet pretty much the whole time.

I worked until 39weeks. But you will start noticing that you just cant nomore.... It helps to go out for walks on your lunch time. I used to walk about 2 or 3miles. So when lunch was over i would look fwd to sittin at my desk for a couple more hours

I'm working right up until the end! I'm a learning support teacher in a high school and travel all over the school to my kids' classes. It's getting more difficult every week (I'm currently 35+5), but it'll be worth it when I get to spend that extra time with my baby boy!

Yesterday was my last day of work. I have baby girl on Tuesday. I figured a week is enough time to get everything together.

With my first I worked until the day before I had her. With my 2nd I left work half day on a Thurs was induced following Tues after 2 more appts.  I couldn't afford to not be here since I had to take my sick time, cut into my leave time.

I worked up until a week before I was due. Maybe try getting up and walking and stretching so you dont get so tight. And if you can't go until your due date see if you can take maternity leave early or cut back how many hours you work.
