Work - when will you go on leave?

Question

I’m due Aug 31, I’m a teacher and we go back to school August 1. I am trying to figure out when to start my leave - tbh I want to try to work as close to delivery as possible and save my days off for after the baby is here. This is my first so I’m not sure what to expect, but I am guessing based on family history that I will probably not actually give birth until a week into September. Anyone here know how close to their due date they plan to work?

Answer

Due the 22nd, will work until the 19th.

Answer

I am due Aug 31 but baby 5 didn’t come until 41w2d so I am planning to work as long as my body will allow me to especially since this baby was completely unexpected. Also we have spent almost the past month in a hotel because the AC is out in our apartment so the unexpected hotel bill has set me was back on finances after getting injured at work and having to be off 2 weeks with no pay because they wouldn’t accept my restrictions of needing a break to stretch and no lifting.

Answer

I’m due on the 27th, and have clients scheduled up until Aug 19th. I’ll probably still do some admin stuff after that (expecting a late baby since I had to be induced 8 days after my due date with my first…).

Answer

I’m a teacher as well and for my first I worked until I couldn’t (baby came 5 weeks early). This one I plan to do the same and work until I can’t. I’d rather have the time off with my baby.

Answer

I stopped working technically today, I’m 36 weeks.  I’m being induced on Monday however. I worked as long as I could to have time with baby after.

Answer

I'm due aug 14th and I left work a few days ago just to mentally prepare for baby and get things situated without being stressed out by work

Answer

I am due August 11th and I plan to work till the due date or whenever I give birth (whatever comes first) I work in a distribution center.

Answer

I am going to keep working until I cant. I don't have much vacation time and disability leave is only 6 weeks. In an ideal world you really truly need 6-12m of maternity leave. First three months are newborn and def require more time for moms to me. 
I am single income with hubby being a stay at home for our toddler. I am due Aug 24th and the brain/body is def struggling with work and I wish I could afford to take some time off before labor. So if you can afford some time off without pay after kiddo (FMLA if in USA), I would take time off in August. 
My last kiddo I had the same intent and kiddo came early so I just stopped working as soon as the hospital visit had to happen.
