I stopped at 32wks. I have a bad back and being a childcare worker it has been really hard, even only doing 2-3days a week. With DD I stopped at 35wks due to my back too. And yep, I would say that having this time with DD is sooo much more important than working at the moment even though we could do with the extra money. My babies will be the same age apart as yours, and I still see my DD as being such a baby. I don't want to take that from her just yet! She will have to grow up quickly enough in a few weeks.
I work 2.5 days a week, and will be working up until 34 weeks. I am a teacher, and worked to 35 weeks with Izzy! Im counting down already! 1 1/2 weeks of holidays to go and 6 weeks of work! I am looking forward to getting those last minute bits and pieces organised and just spending time with iz because I know that I will be pretty time limited with her in the first few months of bub arriving! I have to work to 34 weeks to be eligible for my mat leave again!
I was working only two days a week & stopped going in at 38 weeks. DD was 10 days late & I was still doing work at home two days before she was born & then about a week after I came out of hospital.
I stopped work earlier than intended due to relocating to a new town. Think I was about 20 weeks. I am glad I did, it allowed me to get some rest amongst the moving and spend time with DD1. In the last 10 weeks my pelvis became unstable. Between my prenatal appointments, osteo appointments for my pelvis, playgroup, aba meetings, resting etc, I really had little time to do any paid work. It was actually a nice time for me.
I'm planning on stopping at 32 weeks. I have oodles of Long Service Leave, Sick Leave and Annual Leave up my sleeve though so I might not even make it that far
