    With DD I worked until 38 weeks. It was hard going but I spent all my time off sleeping, resting and DH picked up the majority at home so I could. I wanted to save as much leave as I could for when the bubba came. To me it was more important to have the time with bubba than just sitting around waiting, but that was thought.
    With DS I finished at 36 weeks just because I could and I regreted it. I had already used 6 weeks of leave before he came so I had less time with him. In hindsight, and in any future pregnancies, I'll keep working as long as I'm able.

    I finished up at 34 weeks. I was over work way before then though but thankfully my role is a manager so could sit around more than most
