How long do you plan to work?

Question

I've booked my mat leave to start 1 week before my due date.  I'd rather have the time off at the end of my maternity leave than sit around my house preggo doing nothing but now I'm starting to second guess. Baby is already measuring early 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I’m planning to work until the day my water breaks 🤣 I work at the hospital I’ll be delivering at 😃

Planning to work until I go into labor so I can save my maternity leave time. I work at a desk job though, so it's not physically demanding.

Working up until I deliver so I can save my sick leave! I'm a teacher and hope I dont go into labor in the classroom!

Also working until I go into labor. I don’t have paid time off and I’d rather spend every day I have with baby.

I am a teacher and we go back 5 weeks before I am due, but the first week is a lot of sitting for training. I plan on working until I go into labor as long as I can keep my Bp in check.

Answer

I work from home for a call center and will work until I go into labor.

Answer

I’m taking the 4 weeks before off because I can’t take them off later. It’s my first pregnancy so I want to be as prepared as I can.

Answer

Working until I go into labor so I have as much time home with her as possible!

Answer

I’m officially taking off just the week before my due date, but my job is really great about letting me work from home, so I’m going to stop commuting before that. I’m not sure when, but my hips/pelvis are already extremely painful now at 28 weeks, so it might be sooner than I planned. My job itself isn’t bad, I just sit at a desk, but my commute is about an hour and a half each way and involves me changing trains twice, so it’s pretty rough when walking hurts this much.
