Im glad too see how much of you are staying till the end. If I can I'll do it but most likely I'll end up leaving 3wks before. I work at a gas station and were the busiest one in our town. So we always gotta stock and mop and clean. And i know it'll get to soon. But props to the ones who are actually going the whole way:)

I'm working until I go in to labor. I also work at the hospital I'm going to deliver at so unless my doctor tells me otherwise I figure what better place to be at.

I am planning on working up until the day my c-section is scheduled. I want more time with the baby when he gets here.  That is what I did with my first.  I work 12 shifts with no breaks, standing almost the whole time, so it is tiring. But this way I will have 12 weeks with the baby.

I was planning on working till labor... but since I reached 37 weeks, I've had constant contractions & lots of pain! I had to stop working because I can pretty much go into labor at any point.. I'm 3cm already. I'd Rather be in my own home comfortable if something happens than be at work

Till very last minute, no need to be on leave prior to delivery, unless instructed by doc

I'm planning on working until 2 days before my due date. So that way I have enough days to be with my Lil one when she arrives.

I'm working until I go into labor.  I'm due at the end of may.  I'm at work 10.5 hours a day (get a 30 minute lunch) and up and down all day.   I'd rather save all that time to be with my baby.
