For the entire first trimester i completely lost interest in work as i was so excited about baby and didn't want to focus on anything but! Now i don't mind if i go to work or not. Because of my job which is very physical i'm only performing my full duties for another 4 weeks then i'm going onto light duties which will be basically office work - very different to what i currently do - i'm partly scared about not working my normal job because that is where i'm comfortable and know what i'm doing but i'm also worried about working the next 4 weeks due to risk of injury - i just have to be very careful. I plan to work until 35-36 weeks on the light duties, then take annual leave for 4 weeks and start maternity leave 1 week before i'm due so i can stretch the income out. It's very personal - if we could afford for me not to work i would probably stop earlier but financially this is not possible. I hope you work out what you want to do.
