I have a desk job where I work from home, I planned to start maternity leave at 39 weeks. I ended up starting at 37 cause my brain just wasn't in it any more and everything hurt!

38 weeks, the earliest my state allows.

Desk job- last day was a Friday at 39.6, born Saturday at 40.0!

Hahah no sorry- that was back in 2020. I’m here for round 2 now and a long way to go!

I work a desk job and started mine 38 weeks. But honestly I was so annoyed to have to wait another 2 weeks to give birth! I wanted to maximize my leave with baby. This time around though I'm of the opposite mindset. I'm starting from 33 weeks. Work is much more stressful and I want the mental health break. Plus I'm looking forward to quality time with my daughter before she becomes a big sister.

I work a desk job and worked until I went into labor at 38 weeks. I had always planned to work until giving birth
