Hiya I work for Argos I'm going on maternity a week before baby due. It depends on how you feel in yourself, if you want to work another week or so it's your decision just be careful :)

I'm 38w4d and Friday, July 10th, is my last day at work. I almost didn't work this week because I wasn't feeling up to it, but I'm pushing through.  Try to work until you physically feel like you can't. Good luck! :)

I work at subway too and plan on working till my due date, my manager just had a baby 6months ago and did the same thing so she knows it'll be hard but she understands. Stay another week if you can/want, do what you can but very carefully.

Hey that's all pregnant women, but we have to work and they should understand that. Mine wouldnt mind either way because I can still perform my duties. I hope neither of us go into labor at work!!! That would stink!

I work at Subway! && my manager said when I'm at work I tend to struggle with bending down && can't get back up. So Shea afraid I might hurt myself or my baby! She basically doesn't won't me to go into labor at work!!! Lol

I'm waiting until I go into labor. It's up to you. I would also say its up to what kind of work you do. My Dr has no issue with me working up until I have her and neither does my job.
