I think it depends on what kind of work you do. If you stand all day or do labor I would assume you would want to start leave around 34 weeks. I get to sit at work so I told my job that I would work up until the baby will let me

It does depend on how long the pregnancy will let you work, how long do you get cause most places i know of only give you 6 weeks so i would wait al long as poss.

My family thinks I should just stay home and try doing school work. My feet and ankles are already beginning to swell so they think I shouldn't be on my feet all day which they have a point, so I think I am going to listen. But thank you all very much for the inputs!!
