Could you work part time up until you are ready to leave? Although just going back over your post (sorry I didn't read it properly the first time! Lol) you only work 20 hours a week anyway, so there's not a whole lot to cut back on... if you are really keen to keep on working, remind your DP how useful the extra money will be once you have your baby...I would love to keep working up until then, I don't love my job that much, but the money would sure be handy! I just don't think I would cope... maybe stress to your DP how important it is to you that you keep yourself occupied and that being home for those few weeks could drive you mad, if you are sure that you won't need some "chill" time before the birth?

If you do end up leaving work though, do you have any hobbies, such as sewing or scrapbooking etc you can work on? Or if you don't, maybe you could start? I have a whole list of stuff I would love to get done, but working full time never get the chance to do...I can send you my to-do list! LOL
