I worked until my due date and REALLY regretted it. I was angry and miserable and completely unproductive. After my due date I had 11 days at home and I forced myself to walk 20 minutes/day but otherwise I napped and watched bad TV.

If you can stop working sooner, do it.

I really don't understand the biology of making the end of the 3rd trimester so miserable and then you spend the first months after birth super sleep-deprived. You'd think nature would want a rested mama going into that.
