Just tell him I worked a 40 hour week right up to 37 weeks & was 42 years old at the time. That should fix him up.

I must say though I wish I'd finished up at 36 weeks as I had to walk around the office in barefeet that last week due to too much fluid plus I was just generally uncomfortable. I did manage to do it though so you might just be able to to.

I found it really boring at home for the 7 what would have been workdays that I had off before the bub was born cos I had prepared everything in advance. I spent those days stressing about going overdue and it was not a good thing at all (and it didn't happen).

If he keeps insisting on it the only advice I can give you is to find a site where they have a good chat room where you can chat any time of the day. I only found one after I'd given birth and wished I'd found it to use in those last few days where all I wanted to do was sit & chat.
