Working, pregnant moms: did you stop working before you went into labor?

    I went off work near the beginning of the third trimester as I was on my feet all day (lifeguard) and didn't think I could do my job (CPR made me feel like vomiting and I couldn't pick toys up off the deck). I, however, knew I wasn't returning to work, so it wasn't such a big deal.

    @Thehistoryofus: once you had your induction, you were in labor for 2 days or did it take some time to get things going?

    @mediagirl: I started cervidil Tuesday night. Water broke Wednesday morning. Started pushing at 10pm Wednesday. She was born at 1 am (early Thursday morning) and we got to our room about 4 am. I guess my total time in labor and delivery was Tuesday at 8pm through Thursday at 4 am so 32 hours)

    Well I just found out I was pg, I say I want to work all the way up until the end. But we will see how that goes. Good to read how it went for everyone else.

    I'm planning on working until I'm 39 weeks (which is the Friday before 4th of July). Luckily, I work from home most of the time, so I won't be in the office much (it's an hour drive each way in traffic).
