Grandma pressuring me

So baby's grandma is pressuring me to stop working and take days off, and I am so fed up and just want to roll my eyes every time she says something about it. I am 37 weeks and 3 days, but I am capable of working and can't rely on her deadbeat son for any thing and he's in Jail anyways. But the point is I am supporting myself and my child and I hate how she thinks I can just take the day off.

Unless I am on bed rest I refuse to take time off before my planned maternity leave which will be at 39 weeks.

To top it off she's not baby sitting my child when I do go back to work, so its just annoying. If she is offering to help out financially with diapers, formula, or babysitting; I would understand her input but right now it is so unnecessary and very annoying!!!

Don't listen to anyone but yourself. If your doctor hasn't put you on any restrictions there is no problem continuing to work.
I'm in the the same boat. My family and friends are saying there gonna take my keys or take the battery out of my car so I can't go to work.
I'm due April 2nd and I'm still working.. I feel no sense in sitting home if I feel fine.
Just listen to your body and when you need to sit or relax do so.
