Moms, when you be pregnant be you competent to work right up until the newborn come?

If so, how hard was it to work while you were pregnant? What direction do you have about the subject?
I worked up until the day b4 my son come. I had small easy contractions for about 5 hours during my shift, after they stopped. My advice is...Listen to your body. If you are getting tired after a few hours into your work day and are exhausted when you get home, see if you can start working partially days. Most work places are pretty accommodating to pregnancy.
I worked on my feet when I was pregnant next to all three kids so I decided to finish work a bit early so I could rest and grasp some time in with my other children before the kid came.

With the first I had SPD so i finished at 28 weeks because I just couldn't stand up for 40 hours a week, it be just too much and the pain was getting painful.
With the second i chose to finish at 34 weeks as that was then christmas eve and I wanted to spend the holidays next to my family and then rest and relax for a few weeks with my daughter
With the third I be a supermarket cashier and finished at 33 weeks as I couldn't handle the standing/twisting in one spot anymore as I be started to get a lot of pain (like beside SPD) when i was working.

If i had a sitting down job where on earth there wasn't any physical exersion then I would've been competent to work for longer but its too much with a job where you are on your foot and experiencing pain.
However, a lady i worked with worked right up until 3 days in the past her baby came. She knew she be having a scheduled c-section and worked till the friday before, have the weekend at home and then a baby on the monday! My hairdresser also worked in her own salon until she be actually in labour and adjectives my mothers hair!

Personally, i think you need at most minuscule some time to have sleep ins and just be lazy until that time the big day arrives. I think at least 4 weeks is virtuous but no less than 2 weeks would be my limit.
Its all up to how you can instinctively handle your job and what physical limitations you might experience.

Good luck Source(s): mum of 3
Answers:    I was contained by my last year of full time study to be a nurse. I had 3 placements while i was pregnant, one at the cease of my pregnancy. It was tiring because when i was on placement i was on my foot and busy alot of the time but it is completely achievable. I also sat my degree and state final exams (exams to ratify degree and register as a nurse) 2 days before i had my son. This be mentally tiring but again achievable.

I did have problems with glorious blood pressure and swelling though which led to me being induced early (38 wks) but i dont know if that come from stress and pressure or because of another reason, it still could have happened if i have sat at home on my bum for the last month of my pregnancy.

If you need or want to work right up until your due later do it. Just listen to your body, if you start to get tired then slow down. I think looking support i may have ignored alot of my bodys signs telling me to slow down, this be a silly thing to do.
I worked up till I was 4 months pregnant but only because I was let go... I was planning to quit a month before my son came though anyway.

It be hard even at 4 months pregnant because I was so tired. And my mind was never competent to focus on work... All I could ever think about was my babe and what the future might hold.

I also had issues with the rude b*tch I worked near not letting me eat or giving me grief about snacking. Every time I tried to eat anything while I be not on my lunch break she said something rude to me. She was so rude she actually made me cry.

That made it even harder to work.

I would have be able to make it to the end for sure have I not been laid off and I don;t know that I would have be able to tolerate her till the end of pregnancy though, I was give or take a few to quit before they laid me off because I was so dang feed up with her and did not have the patience or animation to deal with her.
I am a server, I worked until 2 weeks before my due date. It was definately hard at times because you are on your foot for long periods of time, but worth it. I would have gone crazy if I was stuck at home.

know when your body is dictum your tired...work as long as you can safely and enjoy it :)
With my first I worked the day I gave birth I worked on the assembly line at ford motor company it sucked I be on my feet all day and you cannot newly take a break when you need to so it was frozen, I had planned on leaving in a week but she come earlier then expected, with my second I be already a stay at home mom.
I was at school until I was 37 weeks. I be doing 12 hour day 3 times a week! It was hard, my foot hurt the most. But I'm happy I did it or else I probably would have gain another 10lbs lol, and it gave me something to do everyday, kept me busy and active.
i was put on bed rest at 4 months pregnant when i be pregnant with my daughter and was told to quit working right about like time with my son. i dont have good pregnancies. i work at home presently, i wish i would have known around it back when i was pregnant! it would have help us so much!
I worked (on my feet adjectives day long, I might add) up until Friday, I went into labour the following Wednesday, stayed within labour until Saturday when I finally got to meet my newborn.

I would have worked up until the Wednesday (to get a full weeks pay), but my boss told me I couldn't come back as I be too close to my due date.

It was very hard to work towards the finish, but we needed the money so I couldn't afford to quit any earlier.

My only advice is if you hold a job like mine where you are on your foot all day, get a memorandum from your doctor saying you can sit down every few hours or placed on light duties. Employers aren't allowed to ignore a doctor's epistle. Source(s): My pregnancy
I worked untill the middle of the 8th month...in reality i think working keeps u energetic and help you to move while u r pregnant...but in my opinion the last month you should rest especially if you are tired...regard
