pushing maternity leave ?

Question

I'll be 38 weeks and 2 days when I start my maternity, I feel like I'm pushing it, my due date is June 13th and to be honest I didn't think I was this close to having the baby... but I really do need the last paycheck so should I keep it at June 2nd or leave a little early ? I'm only 34 weeks and 6 days and I've been more tired and just feeling like shit... and just can't wait till I get home to sleep, also the cramping and backache is getting worse and plus my blood pressure has been high with every little thing I eat and this just started, And Idk anything g about preeclampsia ..
Plus, I don't have a doctor to go to anymore.. so I'm worried that I'm really pushing the timing and risking alot...

Answer

I'd stay. I went on maternity leave at 39 weeks. There's really no reason not to stay unless you become high risk or have the baby

Answer

If you can't get an ob I would check into a midwife something is better than nothing this far along.

Answer

Do you have a planned parenthood or other clinic in your area? They can help you with prenatal care. I'm not really sure why your Dr would stop seeing you at 30 weeks but that is quite dangerous.

Answer

High blood pressure is not good! You need to see a doctor

Answer

I planned to work until 38 weeks with my last pregnancy, but my daughter was born at 36 1/2 weeks!

I'm worried that you say you don't have a doctor anymore. You should be getting weekly checks at this point, especially if you have blood pressure problems! Is there someone else you can go to for your prenatal visits?
