Dear Jessica;

I was planning to work up until 38 weeks. My employer was great with flexible hours and often sent me home when I looked sick.

However I was hospitalised with pre-eclampsia when I was 31 weeks, which meant that I didn't even get to work after that, because the hospital was in Melbourne and work (and DH) was in Shepparton! (200kms away)

However, in my new position, the girl who just left on maternity leave worked full time up until 38 weeks. She was great!

Regards;
Divvy
