courtenay (971 days ago) i stopped at just over 37 weeks and i had my daughter at 39w1d. i stopped a bit earlier than i would have liked, i had planned on working till 38-39 weeks but my doctor wanted me to stop at 36 so we compromised a bit. also, i get a year for mat so it wasnt a big deal. if i only got a few weeks i deffinitly would have worked as long as i possibly could.
