when to take leave.

Ok so I am 26+4 weeks. I currently work as a cna in home care. I started out at 38 hours a week. Then went down to 31 and I am currently at 24 a week now. All by choice bc of the heavy lifting I do everyday. I was planning on staying untill june 30th which would put me about 3 weeks out from my due date. But I am seriously contemplating leaving about the 13th of june which is my sons last day of school.  I'm just curious about all the other working moms and when they decided to take leave. My job is very active and includes lots of house work and lifting... then of course I come home and have to be mommy and wifey and take care of my own house. I just dont want to over due anything.

With my first I worked at an assisted living and worked right up until the day before she was born. I work as a cna in home care this pregnancy and I'll be working right up until I have this little guy.

I say don't push yourself. I worked up until today 38 weeks 5day and truly was unhappy and uncomfortable for this whole week. I let my convince me to stay much longer than I would have liked.

I to am a cna, i work in a nursing home. I take care of war vets and they are big men. Out took allot out of me but i managed. You are allowed as many sit down moments as you want. Of course work must get done in between. Anyways, i worked up to 36 weeks n only bc i gave birth. (worked friday, baby shower sat, labor sun, n baby 12 am monday) i didnt have much time so i went back after seven weeks. But this pregnancy i couldnt do that. Im on bed rest from 8 weeks. Anyway. Work up till you cant work nomore n give a two week notice. But things happen. Good luck
