    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

    I will be 37wks pregnant with #2 and my maternity leave starts on Wednesday. I feel like I could keep working for a few more weeks yet, but figure I best give myself some time out before bubs is due.

    With DD I stopped at 36w working 3 days per week.

    This time I am aiming for 36w too, but I am ready to finish now and am currently working 3.5 days per week. I am more tired this time around from having 2 kids to run around to school and daycare when I do work, and come weekends just wanna veg!

    With DD2 I cut down on work & only did admin & puppy classes from 30 weeks. I went back to the cut down amount 1 week after she was born with a sling, but I didn't get back to working proper shifts until she was 4 months old.
