When should I stop working?

Wondering when everyone is planning to stop working. I'm 32weeks and I'm planning to stop working at 36weeks. However, there are days where I'll get home from work and lay down for maybe 30 mins just to get off my feet and when I try to get up I can't even walk! Should I consider and earlier time to stop working?

I'm 33 weeks and I worked my last day on saturday. We are in a position where we don't have many financial responsibility and my husband can pull in enough from his job so we don't fall behind.

If I'm able to I'm planning on working until I deliver. I agree with kyndalann if you're feeling really bad, try to cut back your hours or stay home now if you're able to.

If you are financially able to stop working now I would. If your in that much pain! Your health and babies health is more important than anything. I wish I was able to quit now, I'm 33 weeks and have to work up until my due date :(
