When did you leave work during pregnancy ?

Question

I am trying to get a financial plan together and I’m curious as to when you ladies left for maternity leave or just couldn’t work anymore and had to quit or take leave? 
This is my first birth and I’m 25 weeks! Also, I don’t get paid maternity leave so I plan on working extra hours ASAP

Answer

I worked until I was 40w. I’m a labor and delivery nurse, 12 hr midnight shifts, so I figured I mine as well since I could just hop in a bed when needed lol.

Answer

I worked until 34 weeks... I’m not planning on going back though so I got lucky.
I was an outdoor education teacher and for what my job needed I thought I wasn’t going to be able to go the whole 40 weeks.. but I’m 39 weeks now and I honestly should’ve stopped around 38+ because I’ve had such a great pregnancy.

Answer

I started half days around 30 weeks and worked until a few days before having baby. It was Christmas so we were off anyways. I am on a salary based pay and had/get 3 months paid leave though so I didn’t have to worry about saving. It was much easier on my body though at 30 weeks to take half days. (I understand this is not an option for most women)

Answer

I worked until I gave birth the first time, this time I MAY take 3 weeks before off and that’s really just because my parents are going to a wedding out of town and they are my child care, I’m a waitress btw

Answer

I have an office/sit down job and plan on working until labor starts.
