Working at 28 weeks a bad idea ?

No, there are women who work til their due date.

No, many women work until their due date. I work 15 hour shifts until I was 34 weeks. Then due to complications I had to take maternity leave early.

It depends. Do you work a very physically intensive job? If you need to be on bedrest like I was at first, this can be an issue. Otherwise, you’re fine working as long you have no health problems. Keeping stress under control is also important. 🙂

Definitely depends on the job. I worked up until 36 weeks

@roguemommyofjx3, my baby came on the day I was supposed to take my maternity leave

I just started a new job working 12 hour shifts at night as a CNA at 27 weeks, and its pretty rough. I’m in nursing school too so it’s a lot to handle. I wouldn’t say it’s a “bad” idea, but if you can just don’t over do it. Depends on the type of job and any physical restrictions your dr has ordered as well. Just try to rest as much as you can! I plan to try and Work up until I deliver.

@mamalove563 yea I know plenty of women who worked until the baby came. I know one who was a cna and she was busting her ass lifting patients etc. Lol

@roguemommyofjx3, I use to have two job I was working as a CNA and a Publix bakery clerk I left the CNA when I was 26 weeks pregnant and I keep the Publix till my baby boy showed up

Depends on what your job is. My doctor gave me a list of the jobs I shouldn't do for each week of pregnancy
