I worked up until one week before I gave birth. I could have stopped sooner, but I was trying to be some kind of badass for god knows what reason. If I could go back in time, I would have gone on leave earlier.

I was planning to stop working a week before having my child and he ended up coming 2 weeks early so I worked in a daycare with 22, 3 year old kids until my child was born, I ran with them, picked them up, sat in the floor with them until the last day... I don't know how, or why, I just did.

One of my colleagues did up until she gave birth, she was on a post doc so she had to make up any time she took off

I worked until the day before I gave birth. It was an induction.

I worked 9 months cause I had no choice. The doctor looked at me, said baby is fine so I’m fine. Even though I was having contractions on a daily basis and carpal tunnel that made me ineffective at my job.
