I worked up to 38 weeks. After that, I was plnnaing on coming in late but continuing to work, because getting up in the morning was the hardest part. But then my waters broke on the Sunday night and that was that. Can you cut down your hours but still plan to go into work? That way you'll keep busy but not overdo it.Your body is amazing, and it knows how to do amazing things. And you know how to trust it, so you're well ahead of the game. If you haven't already read Ina May Gaskin's Spiritual Midwifery or Guide to Childbirth, I can't recommend them highly enough at this point in your pregnancy. I leafed through one (can't remember which) all afternoon while my contractions progressed slowly, and it was the most inspiring thing possible.
