[quote=Anonymous]With six months of leave and a stressful job, yes, I’d pick a cut off date. Somewhat dependent on how late your docs will let you go. If they won’t induce until 42 weeks, I’d probably plan to stop at 41. If they’d only let you go a week late, I’d probably cut off at my due date. Don’t count on that time though - some people are early, and lots on time-ish, even with a family history of late deliveries. If you had the standard 12 weeks of leave, my advice would be completely different. At 10, 11, 12, 13 weeks old, each week makes a HUGE difference. I ended up burning a week of my leave on a very long induction and labor, and I felt that acutely going back to work when my baby was 11 weeks old. And by 14 weeks he was like a whole different person! But a week or two makes much less of a difference in a six month old. [/quote]
