Hi ladies,
I'm nearly 37 weeks pregnant...when I gave all my families the notice of my maternity leave months ago (September), I planned on working up until Jan 25 (39 weeks preggo). Well, now that I'm here, I'm having a really rough go of it! Up and down, up and down...extreme pelvic pain, back pain, exhaustion and limited patience, lol. I also have constant stinging braxton hicks contractions that really limits my activity. I'm beginning to feel like my progam is lacking and I HATE that!!!
After yesterday and today, I'm seriously considering moving my close date up to the 18th. So, that's one week earlier than planned but it's also NEXT Friday. While my body is hurting, and I really want to stop, I feel horrible that my families will have to scramble to find care for that extra week with less than 2 weeks notice. I would have given them more notce of course, but even 2 weeks ago I felt great and thought I'd have no problem making it to the end. I don't know what to do!!!!!!!!! What do you think?! I know I have to makea decision TODAY to give them as much notice as possible if that's the way I decide to go...
