I worked up until 2 weeks prior to my son's birth - and it definitely was NOT enough time to wind up work, allow the last straggle of work calls to come through asking about particular things (I was still getting these bloody calls one week after his birth ) as well as wind down to be completely relaxed in time for the birth.

This time around, I am a full time SAHM and found that from around 32 weeks I really really needed the afternoon lay down's when my toddler naps and am generally a lot slower!

So I would suggest that even if you think you'll be bored, with a new house and just heavily pregnant, take the earlier date, enjoy some relaxation, meditation and birth prep just in time for bub.

And congrats on a huge exciting year ahead
