When did you stop working?

Just wondering when did u stop working? Or when do you plan too? As in how many weeks.
Do you wish u had stopped earlier?

Im almost 25 weeks so ive still got plenty of time. Just trying to plan ahead. Im in school full-time also so trying to prepare.

Thank you for your input :-)

Currently 41 weeks and still working 40+! It's all up to how you feel, but it is definitely getting more difficult as the days pass

My doctors had me stop working when I was classified as a high risk pregnancy (13 weeks)because of how low my son sits I'm at risk for him breaching or preterm labor. I'm 25 weeks and they want me on partial bed rest. Just be greatful to be able to work while you can. I wish I was working.

With my first I worked til I had her, worked one day and went into labor on a day off, 2nd I worked in labor meaning I went to work and worked my first part if day which was three hours on labor didn't return for afternoon shift, Thurston worked til about 38 1/2 weeks and she was 4 days late. So depends on your body and how u feel

I quit working at 24 weeks lol
But I was still in school full time
Raising my 4 yo daughter by myself
Pregnant with 2
And working as a waitress at outback

It was too much and too painful to be on my feet that long with no break.

I went off what 2 weeks before my due date with my son. He ended up being 2 weeks late, so I could have worked a whole month more before going off. I regret it now that I am back to work and he hasn't reached his first birthday (Oct 1). For my next I swear I'm going to work until I go into labour. Haha

I'm 32 weeks and I'm still working I cut back to about 30 hours a week  I'd say as long as everything  is healthy and you want to work keep working.
