I am finishing at the end of July, by then i will be just over 30 weeks.
My job is an easy sit down one, but its boring, it makes the days drag. I am constantly sitting here thinking about things i could be getting done at home. And there is a lot on that list.
So gonna have 10 weeks to get the house decluttered and plan to do a lot of resting.
I"m finishing at 32.5 weeks. I was thinking about going to 34 weeks, but I have to drive 110 km each way to work every day, and with the days getting shorter and living in a rural area, I'm not fond of driving at dusk/dawn at the best of times. I thought it would be dangerous to go longer being tired and also having a stressful job, and doing that driving when it's getting dark early. With less than 2 weeks to go before I finish I'm well and truly ready to leave. I had painful BH 3 nights this week when I'd had big and stressful days at work and I don't think I could keep it up much longer anyway.
With Shelby I finished work at 30 weeks, I was nurse manager of a 100 bed nursing home and the stress was killing me. I also had constant morning sickness until 32 weeks so it all got a little too much by that time.
I must admit I was pretty bored at home by the time I had her. This time I am only working on the weekends, although the work is heavier I will probably work as long as I can.
Im finishing work at 38 weeks. My job is a sit down job though. I chose to work longer because I still want an income untill then and i think time would start to drag if i left much sooner...plus i spend so much money when im not working!
The midwife in our antenatal classes reccommended finishing up at 36 weeks to get some rest and everything prepared before baby! I think 4 weeks would be ample amount of time considering really you have 2-6 weeks (depending when u have the baby 38-42 wks).
