36 weeks both times.

DD arrived 39+5 so I was a little bored at home but I had a new 8mth old niece to play with and my sis and mum both off work so that was great.

DS arrived smack on 41 weeks but I was not bored at home at all - just kept busy with DD and stuff around the home. I love being at home so for me it was a case of "how soon can I finish?" Financially we needed me to stay as long as I felt comfortable.

I definitely felt it a lot more with DS. So I know how you are feeling.

P, I think it'd be a great idea for you to finish up sooner. Being at work is not really helping anything... you know your productivity isn't really the greatest, you're focussing on other things right now HotI makes a good suggestion - can you do a day or so from home or wind your hours back? Finish up whatever case work you've got going on, wind it up and then finish completely?

You need time to spend with DS, time to meditate on what is coming.
