Wow...! Well, whilst I'm SURE that you COULD manage to do just that -- giving birth in the field and getting right back to work -- well... I think you really OUGHT to take advantage of any rest you can get before the baby arrives...! I mean, imagine if the poor little babe is colicky as I was and you're kept UP half the bloody NIGHT from the get-go? Shan't you wish for some blessed REST and SLEEP while you could have had it...?
Sorry, madame, but -- this IS a less -- sorry to use this term, but -- less barbaric time than whenever you're from, and thus well... I think that you could take it a little easier without anyone thinking any less of you...! I mean I KNOW I'd never think less of a fellow woman warrior!
