I work in retail. I went at 34 weeks with my daughter and I had her at 38 weeks. it was the perfect amount of time to relax and get stuff ready for her to come. I'll be doing the same this time :)

I worked retail with my first was actually taking a shower to go work while I was having contractions! Ended up not going in had her that afternoon. This one I took 2.5 days off before I ended up being induced but I did have 3 Dr appt during those days.

It depends on your job for the most part I think. I like to work until labor so I have more available leave when baby comes. However, I know have a more physical job & it's getting harder & harder each day & I'm only 29+2.

With this pregnancy, i quit working at 24 weeks due  to preterm labor. Then took care of gma at her house then again with the preterm labor at 28 wks.
With my first, i actually felt horrible cuz at 33 wks, my  water broke & i  had her 20 mins before i had to be at work &  totally didnt think to call them as i was freakin out so bad. Lol
I would say listen to ur dr. Every pregnancy & every person is different.
