    Now!!! LOL So over work...and I'm only 7 weeks...long way to go yet! Good news (or bad news) is, that my traineeship finishes in December, but I will have a temporary position where I am now until February, so after Feb who knows, maybe I could just stay at home After all, who's going to want to employ a 4 month old pregnant woman

    I think it was around 34 weeks for me with DS. I worked up until 38 weeks and definately DO NOT recommend working for that long. It was absolute agony. I dont know how i made it through.
    Just make sure you have some time for you and some time to rest and take it easy.. its a very long road ahead .. but a very rewarding one

    Work is killing me now. I'm a nurse so on my feet alot, last time finished at 34 weeks this time gonna be 35 weeks but as I have plenty of sick leave if I am finding I'm struggling more and more will just have to have time off. I find being on my feet all day it starts to feel like all my insides are gonna drop out and the exhaustion well that starts as soon as I wake up!

    Ack, don't know how you girls can do it, on your feet all day!

    I have a desk job and I am STILL exhausted by the time I get home each night!!!

    I'm thinking the couch in the tea room is looking mighty good for some "feet up" time. I'm also thinking about negotiating one full day a week at home... maybe Wednesdays, to break up the week a bit and have some rest.

    At home I can work remotely from the comfort of my couch... sleep in more, rest up more.

    Dee, I hope you can find some sort of compromises with your work...

    ummmm now!!! lol

    It's a little different this time bcos I am working from home but with Jake it was by about 25 weeks I had reached my capacity. I had a job tho where I was (supposed) to be on my feet most of the day but was able to modify it pretty easily.
