I work in a Nursing home as a Nurse Aide, My first pregnancy I only made it up to 36 weeks. They force me to go on maternity leave, this pregnancy I am high risk but I am hoping I can work up to my due date without complications.
I tried to work as long as possible, but i work in a hospital and my job is very active. I only made it to 38 weeks. But i wanted to be able to take as much time off after i had the baby that i could.
I went at 34 weeks. Its really up to you, what kind of job you have and your duties, how your pregnancy is doing and what you think you can take. Some women stay until they give birth, others have to take it earlier for health reasons. Best of luck. X
I went on maternity leave at 27 weeks cause of complications. And then when my 10 Weeks was up i quit cause my manager wanted me to do my training over again
But i think about 35 weeks
