working till labor?

Question

So I decided to work until I go into labor and I asked my husband if I was dumb for doing it. Now I'm second guessing it because I come home to so much back pain and pelvis pain.. I'm due in 2 weeks. should I go on maternity leave or just wait?

Answer

Answer

I was due October 29th, went into work up until the 30th when I had my membranes striped that afternoon. Got up for work on the 31st and didn’t feel good, emailed my boss I didn’t think I could drive into work that day. Convinced my husband I think we should go to the hospital and had my son at 12:34pm that afternoon. 
I was 6 centimeters dilated for a little over a week before then.

im planning on working until labor too. so far so good. any time off for me will be mostly without pay and short term disability is only effective after the birth. luckily for me i sit most of the day for work.

Answer

I was all about working until I go into labor but decided yesterday after I cried three times from him kicking and moving so hard/much and the constant cramps after being at work for just three hours, that I’m going on maternity leave at 39 weeks. I think he’s going to be earlier than that but now my team knows of an official date that I will no longer be there and they can plan better. I work long shifts on my feet all day and I don’t go home without multiple body parts hurting. I want to have energy for labor and the recovery and not still be exhausted from a 60 hour work week.

I went out of work 12/1 as my due date was 12/7.  We work SUPER short staffed and getting people to work without an established schedule is a complete pain for nurses.   Yeah.  So my clock is ticking and I am now 10 days OVER DUE.   Kicking myself in the ass for going out so early
