I will be right at 40 weeks. I wanted to just work until i go into labor but they needed a date so just picked the last day of the pay period.

I had to stop working at 30 weeks as I have a physically demanding job and am carrying twins. I'm now 34 weeks and plan on delivering around 36... I'm hoping to be off till 8 weeks after they're born. It all depends on how long my tax return lasts me. I don't get paid leave.

Im 39+3 and still working my last day will be when im 39+5 but thats personal choice. I can still handle working so i do. Usually thw dr will tell you the right time for you to start leave. Mine lasts 6 weeks and then i meet with my manager to discuss if i need anymore time than that.
