    You sound like work is really is starting to take its toll on you.

    I don't think that there is a certain period of time that you should work up to. Each woman's body responds differently to pg. Some women suffer extreme m/s and exhaustion while others do not seem as affected by it.

    The most important thing for you to do is to listen to your body - if it is telling you it is time to cut back on your workload then that is what you should do. Whether that means going to p/time or finishing up at work all together, you have to think of what is best for you and your bub.

    Well I have given 3 weeks notice at my work, as my lower back just wont let me continue, and I cant help but think when im that tired that it really is not good for the baby at all....
    My DH and I both agree that we can afford for me to stay home. Im not sure what im going to get up to though as we are building a house and it wont be ready until a couple of weeks before bub is due, so i cant set the nursery up just yet.
    I will have to catch up on reading and doing things for myself and will just have to ignore the comments...

    i worked up to 36 weeks, but i also was in an office, and i could shut the door and hide etc. I would not have stayed that long if i was on my feet all the time
