Im 28 weeks and still going to office daily, the commute is getting tiring na. My job isnt too physical but standing meetings thaka deti hai. At what point did u mommas stop?
I am still hoping to conceive soon, but I feel taking maternity leave or resting from the 8th month onwards sounds like a very gentle and safe option for the body.
My hospital care team was very clear that sitting for long hours isn't good in the third trimester. I discussed my work profile with my doctor and planned my leave from the 36th week onwards.
Haan na, last month me toh waise bhi aalas aane lagta hai. Maine toh 36th week me hi leave le li thi taaki ghar pe thoda aaram kar saku. Aap bhi apni tabiyat dekh kar decide karna.
Honestly, it depends on your health and the nature of your job. If you have an active pregnancy, working till the 37th week is fine, but definitely let your doctor's advice be the final deciding factor.
Since I had thyroid issues, I was easily fatigued. I discussed with my gynac and worked till the 36th week, but with regular medical follow-ups. Stop when your energy levels start dipping too low.
Looking back at those days, I realized I stretched myself too much at work. Honestly, take your leave at least 2 weeks before your due date so you can enjoy some quiet sleep before the baby arrives!
I completely understand the anxiety of managing work pressure while pregnant, it can be so overwhelming. If office stress is affecting your mental peace, please consider stopping or taking leave by the 34th-35th week.
I totally understand how hard it is to balance your career and the little life growing inside you. Listen to your body, sweetheart, and take rest whenever you feel tired. Your comfort comes first.
Keep your mind positive and calm. You can work as long as you feel happy and active, but don't force yourself. Take care of your health and let things happen naturally.
In our house, my saas told me to stop sitting for long office hours from the 8th month and just focus on light household walk. It actually helped me stay active without too much stress.
Hey, don't stress too much about work deadlines right now. If your body feels exhausted, take a break early. Your health and baby are way more important than any office project!
I worked right up to my 38th week because it kept me distracted and happy! Just take frequent breaks and keep a water bottle with you. You've got this!
With twins, my doctor made me stop working early at 7 months because my belly was already huge! If you have single baby, you might go longer, but don't try to be a superhero.
My mother suggested resting from the 9th month, but my doctor said staying active at work is fine if there are no complications. I trusted my doctor and worked till a week before delivery.
