Hi, just wanted some opinions/reassurance about this - I do a 9-5 office job in a fairly relaxed and supportive environment and am planning to work until 4 weeks before I'm due, which my midwife semmed to think was reasonable. Then last night I got a huge rant from my mother about how I had no idea what I was letting myself in for, and that I'm being selfish and irresponsible and risking mine and the baby's health. I'm on my own (as the father decised not to stick around!) my family are providing a lot of help and support and I know my mother is concerned for me, but now she's made me much more stressed and anxious and is making me doubt my own judgment. She's basically offered to pay me to finish 2 months before, which for a variety of reasons I don't want to do (I'm now 24 weeks).
Any thoughts on this - it's my first child so I'm totally at the mercy of my Mum's 'I've done it so I know what's right' attitude.
Thanks
Fiona
