I finish next Friday 14th March and god it can't come soon enough. I'll be 36 weeks by then so have done quite well to keep going this long although I carried on until 38 weeks woth Tim This chair feels like a bar stool and baby kicks me in the bladder everytime I move. Getting out of bed in a morning is a feat and sitting in traffic is not my idea of fun at the moment!!.
Who's still at work?

You certainly are a trooper, go you!!! I got to 28 weeks and was begging to go. I was so tired I couldn't face another 6 weeks of dragging myself to work.

I finish work next friday too! though I won't actually be going to work on my last day cos I've got a breast feeding workshop to attend 
I only work 3 or 4 days a week so I could have probably lasted a couple more weeks. I just really can't be bothered with work anymore. Want to get my house spotless before baby arrives and spend some time with James. He's on Easter hols from school in a couple weeks

I was supposed to finish Friday 21st March when I'd have been 36 weeks. I don't know who I was trying to kid thinking I could work for that long!
I haven't worked properly for weeks because of Sciatica/SPD so I give all you ladies a big pat on the back who have managed to work right until the end

No choice Im afraid...
I'm working officially for 4 more weeks and then having a KIT day every week to teach my exam groups that I'm abandoning!
I'm actually not working after 2 weeks though because of the Easter holidays. My first 'day' back at work is in July, which happens to be the first day of the holidays, so I get full pay for 6 weeks school holidays!
I had worked out that I could only afford to stay off for a certainb time because hubby is disabled and doesn't work and Disabled living allowence is CRAP!!!! So, I could afford to stay off untill two weeks after the summer hols, but then I figured, what does two weeks matter? It works out that if i go to work 2 weeks earlier, I get 8 weeks extra on full pay.
I don;t think I've explained it very well, but it makes sense to me!

I'm still at work and will be until it hit 38 weeks, it's not too bad as I am only in an office and it's just for school hours but I am getting to the point where I really wanna have a sleep during the day.
Go to be there that long as I do the accounts and payroll and it works out that the VAT return and year end payroll is due the first week of April so if I don't do it no one else can!!!!

All of you that are still working at 35+ weeks are amazing - I really don't know how you do it
I gave up as early as possible (29/30 weeks) and it was a struggle to make it through to then. I think tiredness becomes the biggest problem in the end; when you're not sleeping well at night it really takes its toll.

My mat leave officially starts next Friday as well but I managed to save 8 days AL so have been off since yesterday. So relieved as was really struggling.
Debs are you working from home so you can have a rest or are you literally going off to work everyday? You must be exhausted?
