I work full time outside the home. I plan to try and work part of the week from home once I have kids, but we'll see.

We're still TTC, but I'm a nanny, so once we have a LO, I plan on working outside the home, probably part time, but LO would come with me.

I'm SAH for now while I'm on mat leave but in September I go back to work (WOH).

I plan to stay at home. I am currently working full time until baby is due (if I can last that long!)

I work full time outside of the home. I worked from home for about six months prior to starting this job almost five years ago and I hated it. I think I would do well with working from home 2 days a week and in the office the remaining 3. I need the socialization more than I thought I did!

I primarily work from home, and I also have a part-time WOH job. I will definitely keep the WAH job, and hopefully return to the WOH job soon after the baby's born.

I am a SAHW right now due to being laid off, and will be a SAHM after LO arrives!

@autumnlove: That would be my dream!
I work outside of the home. I wish I can work 1-2 days from home.

I work outside of the home currently. When we have kids, I plan to stay at home. Maybe do a little consulting/freelance work from home when we have kids though, so I don't go crazy.

I work outside the home and intent to continue doing so once we have kids!

I work full time outside the home. We're TTC now, but eventually I'd like to WFH one day/week and my DH WFH one day too.

I work outside the home. When we have kids, I hope to be able to work some days from home as I have proven that I can work from home just as efficiently (if not, more so) as when I am in the office.

i voted for two of those since i work outside of home, but i also work from home 2-3x a week at a full-time job.

I work outside the home and plan to post-baby as well. My job is relatively family friendly (compared to most) and I'm hoping to have some sort of a flex arrangement. Maybe 1 day at home or out of another office?

I work outside of the home and will continue to do so after baby comes. I wish I could switch to part time but financially that's just not possible at this time. We are hoping with baby #2 that will be possible though!

Work outside of home full time, five days a week and will continue after LO arrives.

I stay at home I couldn't imagine leaving my lo's, I have way too much fun with them!

I voted other.
I have a master's degree and some work experience but right now I don't work because I can't get a job right in the middle of my pregnancy only to quit when baby arrives.
After baby arrives I plan to stay home for as long as I want...at least a year...maybe until pre-school. Then I'm back to work! I love work but I know my LO will only be little once so I plan to take full advantage of that. My other future kids won't get that from me:( Because by then i'll be too old to keep taking breaks from work.

I work outside of the home and will do so after I go back. I'm on leave for 13-14 weeks. I'd love to stay home but we just can't do it with our plans for the future (you know, retirement and all that). Haha.

I work full-time outside of the home and will do the same once we have kids.

I work full time outside the home right now. After LO is born I plan on staying at home. I hope to establish a part-time work at home schedule but if it doesn’t work out it won’t be the end of the world.

I work outside the home. Went back to work (part-time) earlier this month when Lo was 4.5 months old. Like @mediagirl, would love to stay at home, but it's that pesky thing called plans for the future that keeps me at the office

I'm SAH right now on Mat leave, will be going back to work next march full time.

I was laid off days before we learned I was pregnant with twins. I am now 19 weeks and this pregnancy has been very very rough. We decided that I'll begin looking for a job and with crossed fingers return to work once the twins are 3-4 mths.

I know I am lucky. I work outside of the home. During the school year I teach college so I have a reasonably flexible schedule and get 2 full days with him. This summer I have picked up another job as well (the job I did before teaching). So, I am slightly over employed at the moment.

I work full time outside the home and DH is a work at home dad to DS.
