    can you ask your care provider for their opinion? that may help sway him - if all is going well etc etc they wont have a prob with it...
    i think it is v important to do what suits you at the time, depending on how you feel. i worked up to 38 wks (DS was born at 39 wks) and this was right for me, i am not the type to be at home and i would have been working myself up with all the 'what ifs' if i had time on my hands.. others feel differently. that said, i think i will finish a bit earlier this time around...

    I second MRSMAC.
    I had full plans of staying at work until 36-37 weeks,(I get really bored at home!!), but I only just made it to 34 weeks, due to fatigue and SPD.
    Mind you I felt great right up until then, it just all hit me suddenly at 34 weeks.

    Really in the end you need to do what is right for you.
    Explain to DP that you know your body and abilities best, and that he needs to understand that. Failing that you could threaten to take up bunjy jumping! LOL

    Good luck
