When did you/will you stop working?

Hello Ladies

I finish for maternity leave 8 weeks today

By then I will be 36+2 weeks. My first two weeks are annual leave so technically my Mat leave starts when I am almost 39 weeks.

Just wondering how far on you all plan to work? I'm starting to get pretty tired these days and wondering if i'll manage another 8 weeks!

I finished yesterday.!
I work in a pharmacy though and was on my feet all day with little chance of a break. I think if I had a desk job I might have tried to stay a bit longer.
I'm going to go and buy some wool and knitting needles today and learn to knit!

I finish work March 21st at 36+3. I have some leave owing to me so my Mat leave doesn't officially start until April 3rd. I have a very physical and active job and I'm shattered now so am really hoping I'll last the last couple of weeks!xox

I stopped at 32 weeks and it was beautiful! I probably would have worked longer except that I'm not going back to work so screw them! Screw them all!

Unfortunately I'm going to work as long as I can so I can spend more time home after baby comes. I only get 3 months off with about 1/3 of my pay and can't afford to be out without any pay at all. I'm hoping I'll feel all right since about half my day is walking around.

I will leave on May 19th, the baby is due May 22nd! I know I"m cutting it close, but my job stinks and I can only take 12 weeks of unpaid leave and I wanna spend most of the time off with my lovely!
