I'll be going to college right up until the day I drop. Not the same as work I know but still...

i left work at 29 weeks, i couldnt afford it really but i was really ill with my pregnancy, with hindsight i did the best thing. as soon as the sickness eased off (about 34 weeks) serious pelvic pain kicked in. plus i got through some serious csi :D

Apparently up until about ten years ago it was very much 'the norm' to be off from around 28 weeks. Why did women suddenly start to work for longer and longer?

I can go off from 15th Feb and should be doing as I have 24hr Sickness, Sciatica and SPD but because of money and the fact my hubby has lost his job and driving licence I'm having to plod on as long as possible :(
