When are you finishing work?

[nessmay]

Just curious as to when you are finishing work (how many weeks will you be?) or when did you finish? I'm due to finish at 37 weeks as up until now I've had a reasonably pain/stress/nausea free pregnancy, so when I had to give work a date I thought I'd be fine at 37 weeks. However in the past week I've been feeling so tired and it's such a struggle getting up and going to work (thank you bank holiday!).

I don't have a physical job (I'm mainly at my desk) so this isn't a problem, but quite a lot of friends/colleagues all wish they'd finished early than they did because of being so tired. I am lucky in that I have a very understanding boss and I've started working from home one day a week, but like many people I wanted to finish as late as possible so I could have more time with DC before returning to work (and keep earning for as long as I can). I'm currently 29+3 and am going to be induced at 38 weeks.

with my first i finished at 36 weeks, which was only because i got preeclampsia and had to go on leave earlier than the 38 weeks planned. i regret that now as i was so exhausted by the time i actually had the child i had not much ready for her.
i wasnt working when i had DD2 so not an issue.
with DD3 (currently pregnant) i was planning on taking leave from the earliest possible point at 29 weeks so i could actually rest up and get the place ready for the baby, that was fine with work as my maternity leave would have started at the beginning of a new annual leave year so i was planning to tack on a few weeks at the end. i am fortunate enough to have good maternity pay as ive been in my job a long time.
but i ended up on leave from 20 weeks due to complications, so sick leave then maternity.
if i was going to do it again then i would still go with my plan for this time which was to go as early as possible as with two kids already at home, i was going to need as much rest as possible!
