I worked up until 37 weeks. As soon as I stopped working I developed shingles, plantar warts on my foot and huge fluid retention. I think I was running on adrenalin for so long that once I stopped my body shut down. Bubs ended up being a week late so had 4 weeks rest all up.

Next time (if there is one) I'll probably stop work earlier. I'll have a toddler at home that will be keeping me busy.
