You can officially request to leave from 29 weeks. Depending on how stressful your job is and how physically demanding it is. I work in a cafe in a department store and im leaving at 35 weeks but it isn't overly physical xx

I left at 3o and was a nanny I wanted to go until 36 but boss made me go earlier but starting to be glad I did now as back pain and tiredness is kicking in and I can get ready in time for them now if I went at 36 I would of over done I think and I've worked in a nursery to so know stressful/hard work it can be xx

i too work in childcare school/nursery and I am leaving at 34/35 weeks as keep catching everything so im fed up already x

I work at nursery and left a week ago tomorrow so 37 weeks X

@lawamc, I finished at 35 weeks and was so glad I didn't keep working any longer. It gets tough towards the end x

@lawamc, I work in an office so not very stressful physically, but sitting at a desk absolutely kills my back, I finish on Thursday so 35 weeks and 3 days!🙊xx

I'm finishing on Saturday and I'll be 35 weeks. I work a very strenuous full time job in a pub waitressing and working on the bar xx

@lawamc, we have the same job hehe I worked 40hours a week in a baby room until I was 36 weeks and I'm glad I didn't go any further, xxxx
