Working until 37 weeks?

Question

Am I crazy?  It seems like such a long ways away and this pregnancy is already wearing on me...I am due Sept 20th and was planning on working until August 30th... is this too late? FTM here and I feel like by 37 weeks I’m going to be basically rolling down the halls of my work. 😕

Answer

I’m working til I go into labor. I don’t get paid maternity leave and don’t have any vacation to use so I’ll be working up until I have the baby.

Answer

I'm working until my due date as well. No such thing as maternity leave at my job, and we also don't do paid vacation. I'll be returning once I'm cleared by my doctor, and most likely working nights. I can't wait to be exhausted for forever 🙃🙃

Answer

Planning to work until I go into labor like I did last time so I can get more time with the baby when he's born.
My job is a desk job though. If it was physically strenuous or if maternity leave policies were better here I'd probably take off a week or two before my due date.

Answer

I get 3 months of paid leave and they make us start leave between 36-37 weeks

Answer

My due date is also September 20th. Currently I am a flight attendant (long days, lots of standing, jet leg etc) so I’ve opted to continuing flying until the end of June and then go do ground duties. I will likely only stay doing ground duties until the beginning of August. I want some time off to myself to finish the nursery, organize and clean. If I am still feeling awesome at the beginning of August I might work a couple weeks of the month. I live in Canada and we get 18 months maternity leave so I am not stressing about taking time off work early. It’s such a tough choice though!

Answer

I’m working until I go into labor, and I know a lot of people who have, so I don’t think 37 weeks is crazy!

Answer

I’m working until labor. I don’t get paid maternity leave so...

Answer

I’m a middle school teacher and and I’ll be 35 weeks when school starts. I plan to work until 39 weeks (which is ironically Labor Day week) unless something happens and I have to deliver early.

Answer

I’m in the army, so I have to work until I go into labor

Answer

I worked until 39 weeks with my first and plan to work until 38 weeks with this one. I work for myself so I get to make the schedule but that also means I don't get paid leave. It's a balance!
