Working?

Question

Hey ladies, are any of you still working, or when will you take maternity leave? 
I work with the public in a very busy clinic office... I think it’s time I be done. I’ve already caught a cold and now I’m off the next few days trying to get better.. I think it’s time I be done and relax until baby girl is ready to come out.. sept 11th... I’m just scared to get really sick or something and I just want to be as healthy as possible while I can.

Answer

Girl I’m almost 35 weeks and i am about to be done too. I work in an office with a bunch of people and am also scared of getting sick. In addition to my back pain etc lol. I just found out recently that at my hospital if you test positive for COVID when you go in for delivery you are separated from baby immediately and husband has to leave and can’t be at the hospital. So I’m terrified. My office has the ability to let me work from home but won’t let me. Even though our entire office worked from home the entire months of April and May. It’s complete bullshit and I’m probably going to just quit. Covid can cause preterm labor and other complications as well. I don’t want to work for an employer that can’t understand my fear and allow me to wfh.

Answer

Answer

I work as an RN on a medical surgical floor, 3 shifts a week, 12 hours each, on my feet, front line to Covid (but well protected). Currently 32 weeks, will be off at 36 weeks since I’m in California. I will be paid through disability up until I deliver.

Answer

33w. Work as an RN in surgery. Working till delivery, and hopefully that doesn’t happen at work, there’s no L&D at the hospital I work at

Answer

A nurse in a hospital. Working up u till due date. My ob has been very particular about our covid numbers in the hospital though so if we continue to increase I'm not sure if she's going to recommend I leave early. I'm almost 34 weeks

Answer

I’m 33 wks and a full time nanny to 3 kids. I plan on working until I go into labor since I don’t get any paid maternity leave but we will see how it goes because I am starting to dwindle fast lol.

Answer

I’m almost 34 weeks and still working. I work at a law firm but I don’t have any contact with clients, and I have my own room. 
I’d work full time till my due date, but my back starts killing me after 2pm. 
So I might ask my boss to work from 9 am to 2 pm very soon, and then go home and relax. 
Can’t work from home due to sensitive info, etc. 
This back pain is bad 😭

Answer

I’m going to work up until 10 days prior to my scheduled c-section. 
Since I’m part owner of the clinic I work at I have autonomy to work onsite only a few days a week, monitor staff, and complete tasks from home.
My husband and I plan to isolate for those 10 days prior to my c-section and ensure that all is completely ready for baby. 
We have already taken so many steps to make sure it’s all done so just the finishing touches.

Answer

I’m 32 weeks and will work until I deliver however we’ve been working from home due to COVID. Even if I wasn’t I work at a computer so still would have that way I get more time with baby

Answer

I plan to work up until I go into labor. I am working from home due to the COVID pandemic.
