I'm with my daughters dad but my sons dad wasn't around my son n daughter will have the same dad just not by blood the doc told me to go on leave at 4 months was bad BC I was bleeding a lot and now at 31 weeks I'm 1 cm and have been since I was 28 weeks the complications have just got worse if stay as long as u can until ur doc tells u other wise

Just hope and pray you'll go into the OB one day and after checking you they say alright today is baby day lol I hope that's the case with me

I understand but you get checked every week so they'll be able to keep track of how dilated you are how fast you're dilating etc.

@blessedmamaof3, and thats my concern. Im not close to the hospital Im gonna deliver at in regards to work. and i refuse to deliver any where else. lol

I'm working my butt off until the day I pop. I don't care if my water breaks at work lol. I'm delivering at a hospital five minutes from my job

I did work with my first son but with this one I am taking off a week before my due date just so I can get the rest I need and prepare myself to become a mom of 2. I was going to work up to my due date but a friend of mine suggested taking the week before since this is 2nd child plus I could really use the time to caught up on things before this baby comes.

right, thats what I wanna do but I know they said ftm can go early or can go past their dur date.... I just dont want my time to be a waste... @mz_jdl_119

yeah, if you get 3 months paid, it wouldn't be terrible, but if you get the standard 6 or 8 weeks, you could end up running out before your 6 weeks of recovery is even up

@newmommy62016, I also waited until labor. i wanted to save maternity leave to spend it with my baby

yea true. i guess i need to see what they would do regarding coverage for my work location.... @emily18234

I worked until labor. think about it. If you choose the 16th and it's really the 25th, you've still got the 2 week margin of error there, possibly a whole month out of work.
