I would want to work as late as I could and have more time when babay was here!! I worked as a carer until I was 37 weeks and only went then because I had a urine infection. I would have been broed at home.lol
I'm leaving when i'll be 34 weeks pg with this one as i have a years annual leave to take before Mat leave - so the latest i can leave really is 36 weeks anyway (works advice is to take annual leave before mat leave) and my mat leave is right up until the 29th Nov paid and i'm taking a year off so i won't be back until 27th Feb 2010 - if i decided to return...
Plus the job i do is stood in the same place for lengthy hours or rushing around the hotel on foot - we are short staffed so i never seem to be able to sit down for longer than 15 mins let alone going to the loo or getting a drink when i need one!
I finish up 4 weeks before (hopefully!) on 27th March, like you I stand in one place for long periods of time- my legs feel like they've seized up then when I have to walk upstairs for the loo
I half my hours after Christmas to make it a bit easier to carry on longer.
