I'm 8 months pregnant and since I feel fine I'm still working (my boss is okay with that). I am however really worried about after I give birth. I have a nanny set up and all but I'm just wondering how soon will I be ready physically to go back to work. Any advice?

It's always best to take at least a month off. You could probably go back to work after a couple of weeks, but you might end up exhausting your body, so what's the point. Take advantage of maternity leave.

Everyone is different but don't push yourself too hard when it comes to getting back to work.

Don't stress yourself out about going back to work right away. If you push too hard you will just end up getting sick and then you will be useless to your job and your child.
