When did you stop working ?

Question

I’m 32 weeks but still very active. My SO thinks I should still work since I’m capable especially since we could use the money 🥴 
BUT 
 I don’t want to....plus I don’t wanna waste a companies time working for only a few more weeks than having to leave/quit. 
I just got hired at a job and worked yesterday, but now they scheduled me Friday- Sunday, and Tuesday and Wednesday....I don’t wanna do all that. This whole damn summer I applied for jobs and no one would take me cause I was pregnant and now that I’m near the end I just started this job, but I feel like it’s going to be too much.
**Update for those who can’t read :
I just feel bad working and having to leave soon. I’ve never worked for a company less than 2 years, and being a manager I know how it feels when having people waste your time. I just don’t wanna ruin someone else’s opportunity for a job because I’m just taking up a spot for the next month/until the baby gets here.

Answer

Any help that you contribute to a company whether it may be temporary or not is appreciated. Don’t feel like you’re a waste or feel bad. I’m a manager, and our work sometimes feels like a revolving door but as a manager I understand it’s all apart of the business, however for that split few weeks that I don’t have to worry about finding or hiring or training someone is golden. Don’t be hard on yourself love, work because you physically can. The money is just a bonus. Plus, despite (and a little illegal if otherwise) being pregnant that far along, your company saw something great about you to hire, so that’s positive! 😉

Answer

I worked until the day I had my first. My second I was a sahm when I had my baby. I plan to work until 38 weeks with this one.

Answer

I’m trying to go as far as I can. I’m 27 weeks. I was in really bad car accident two years ago and broke my back so back will never be the same. I’m a nurse I work long hours and on my feet all night. Some nights I barely get to shove something down my mouth or barely make it to the bathroom. Pregnancy hard but not a disability.

Answer

Don’t worry about the company. Focus on yourself. You have to decide whether a bit of extra cash now is better, or wether it’s less stressful for you and the baby iF you didn’t work. And factor in the commute too.
The company will deal with it what ever way you decide and they will be fine.
I worked until 37 wks as it coincided with the end of a 6 month temp contract but the last couple of weeks going to and from work on public transport was hard.

Answer

I worked until 39 weeks, and I had my son on his due date. I plan to work right up to labor with my current pregnancy. I’d make as much money as you can before birth, unless you have some legit medical reason for quitting. 🤷🏻‍♀️ just my opinion.

Answer

First pregnancy I worked up until the day I had my daughter at 36w, I was on my feet all day usually worked close to 40hrs a week. This pregnancy I’m 37w6d and still working. Planning on working up until I go into labor.
