I can work from home but I get more things done when I'm at work then at home. I'm also a part of a vanpool so the commute in is stress free for me. I might work from home if I have a bunch of appt to go to.

Usually only when I have doctor's appointments - it's so much easier to just work from home for the first/second half of the day, rather than commute for just a couple of hours
-
Definitely. I work one day a week at home and that's when I schedule all my appointments and run errands since it's so much easier without taking either one or both kids.

At my old job I could, and did, and it was totally awesome!! My new job probably would not let me until ive been there for a couple of years. I'm a trainee right now so i need to be in the office until training is completed, then i need to put in time to build up credibility. I won't time ttc around this, but it will probably encourage me to wait longer if anything

I started taking advantage of our work from home capability a LOT more when I got pregnant. It was invaluable in the first trimester when I was so exhausted all day I could barely see straight. I could go lie down in bed for a little while in the afternoon to recharge. It's not nearly as necessary now that I'm in the third trimester but I still really appreciate it. I work from home most Fridays.

I'll be work from home eligible two months after I get back from mat leave! Then I'll work from home 4 days a week and in office one rotating day a week. Pretty sweet deal!
-
I could and definitely did in the last month. I was so uncomfortable. my boss was also taking it easy on me then so I had some downtime during the days too.
after I went back to work full-time I was working 3 days in the office and 2 days at home which was nice (though I had LO the two home days so they weren't super productive) -
I can and do one day a week usually. I may do it more near the end this time. With my last pregnancy and a different job I WFH the last 3 weeks and it was great.
-
I did, but not often. For example, I left work and finished my day at home the day the AC stopped working. Nine months pregnant in August/September with no AC in the south? No way. I probably could have more but I didn't want to take advantage.
-
I regularly work from home one day a week. I try to schedule all my doctors appointments that day, and home is closer to the doctor than work. I can work from home additional days if I'm not feeling well, but I try not to take advantage of that unless it's really necessary. I am hoping I can work from home more right before delivery and transitioning back from leave.
-
It has become more frequent as I get ready to go out. I started out rarely WFH, then consistently one day a week. Once I hit 36 weeks it was 2 days a week, and now at 38 weeks I have set expectations that I am WFH full time. My team is just glad I haven't decided to take leave before the baby comes, so I think it's fine. Commuting by subway and foot would just be too hard at this point. Plus my boss is super supportive so no one says too much!
-
I work from home regularly two days a week, and usually schedule my appts on those days.
With my last pregnancy, I worked at home the entire month before my DD. It was fantastic.
-
I have a flex schedule, so I WFH 3 days (ish) a week from home regularly. Last time, my boss had me work from home 100% from 35+ weeks until D-day. I think she was afraid I might go into labor at the office
It'll probably be the same this time around!
-
I worked from home around some dr appts (i tried to get first thing AM appts) and the last couple of weeks. I try not to do it too much because it looks bad and is frowned upon to take advantage of it.
-
working from home is generally not really encouraged here but i live really far from my work and all my OB appointments are where i live... so i've been able to work from home on appointment days, which is amazing. now that i'm almost 36 weeks, my appointments are weekly so i'm working from home once a week and i'm taking fridays off as vacation days. commuting in only 3x a week is A DREAM since my commute is 2 hours each way every day and it is kiiiiiiiiilling me in late pregnancy.
-
I did when I was on some what of a bed rest during my third trimester starting at 35 weeks. Otherwise, not really because I didn't want work to think being pregnant was a hinderance on work. I wanted to be available and kept on the forefront of everyone's mine that I was still fully functioning at 100% capacity.

I've been working from home one day a week (standard in my office) but last week I had a bad week, wasn't feeling well and worked from home 4 days. It was amazing!
