I am a State Govt public servant but had direct contact with clients in my work. There was a lot of sitting down, walking between A and B and sitting down again so not too physical.

I worked right up until 40 weeks. Crazy I know but I felt ok and wanted to get a project as close to finished as possible before I left. If there had been any problems, I could have left a lot sooner. DS was late so I had 10 days at home before he was born and we werent' aware of the problems until a couple of days before he was born.

I'd never work that long again. I was motivated by the thought of having longer off after DS arrived and knew I would go completely berko sitting at home for weeks on end
