[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here. I worked up to my due date. If your nanny wants to work and is in good health, let her work up to the date. Better yet, ask her what she wants to do.

PP who suggests she stop working in the second trimester is crazy. Pregnancy isn't an illness and women have been having babies while taking care of other children for millennia. [/quote]

That was me. Hi. I am not sure I explained well just how active we are. I also worked full time with a long commute up until my due date (actually I worked after too, but from home). The difference is, I don't have a physically demanding job. I am not lifting two babies and carrying them around while pregnant. I stopped traveling for work a little over halfway through. I would not want to give birth in a foreign country, while away from my husband/family. [/quote]

:shock:

Don't worry, we get it, you're a *very* active family. That being said, did you put yourself on  self-imposed bed rest in the second trimester? Probably not. If you can handle continuing with your normal family life whilst pregnant, why can't your nanny? Weird, weird, weird. [/quote]

No, I didnt put myself on bed rest. But I have a desk job. The nanny does not. Also, when I am home, so is my husband, and he did all the "heavy lifting" while I was pregnant. Towards the end of my pregnancy I would definitely not be comfortable either leaving the 1 yr old in the house alone while I went downstairs to throw out all the garbage, or carrying her down the steps while carrying garbage in the other hand. That's a recipe for falling down stairs. [/quote]
