I basically told my boss I was going to work from home for the last 3 weeks because I didn't want to risk going in to labor in the office. He totally understood, I didn't have to get a note from my doctor or anything.
Agree. My boss seemed relieved because I think he was scared he would have otherwise been responsible for getting me to the hospital in case I went into labor there.
It should be a conversation with your manager but if they ask for documentation or something, i think there is a pregnancy act or cant recall exactly whats its called - you can get a letter from your OB suggesting you to do WFH accommodation as you are nearing your due date. Should be a straight forward thing
I took full on disability 4 weeks before my due date and didn’t work at all (which is actually presumed in CA where I am). I don’t think January is too early to ask for work from home at all — you’ll be in the third trimester trenches for sure. Depending on your environment, you could just bring it up with your boss (especially if you think they’ll be reasonable), but you could also start by talking to your doctor if you think a note would help
Definitely not too early to get an accommodation. I would tell your employer that is what you need rather than ask.
