I'm pregnant with second baby, first time around I finished work at 37 weeks and baby was born at 42 so I'd been off for 5 weeks bored stiff. I don't want to do that again
Just wondered when other mums finished work and how late they worked/was it manageable or was it a real slog at the end.
I'm wfh atm which may change things anyway.

First time stopped at 36 weeks and used two weeks of annual leave before mat leave kicked in.
Second time? Stopped at 37+1, gave birth at 37+3. On the phone to the hospital as DH and I built the crib and packed my bag, frantically calling relatives to have DS1 because both sets of our parents were on holiday because the baby could never come at 37 weeks.....
