I worked full time up til 37 weeks but probably would have liked to have finished up at 35. By then I just couldn't keep my mind on the job & my feet were so swollen I could hardly walk half the time. My OB wouldn't sign me off for sick leave and I wanted to spend all my mat leave at home with bubs so I perservered for the last two weeks. I'm glad I did perservere as I only ended up having 7 days off work before giving birth & it was boring as & I just got so obsessed worrying about everything. At least at work I had things to distract me.
