    wow!! I was going to leave at 30 but now my boss has told me I have no job after the 22 week mark. I cant see anyone hiring a pregnant woman so I guess Ill be finished at 22 weeks.

    I worked 5-6 full days a week (desk job) up until 38w3d... thought I would have heaps of time to get everything ready for bubs arrival... alas she had plans of her own so I finished work on the Saturday and went into labour on the Monday night with Brigid finally making her appearance at 12.32am on the wednesday.

    If I had the time over I would prob try and work until 35-6 weeks.

    Exactly the predicament I was nearly in, Danni! You can get still temp work without maternity pay if you so wish for the Sales and whatnot (you'll be about 22w just after Christmas, right?).

    I do sort of wish that I was going to be at home from next week, I must admit, but we're now looking at it all changing in March so I'll be at home anyway!

    Danni, how come you won't have a job? They are NOT allowed to sack you because you are preggers! What do you do? Is it dangerous for you and the baby?
