Tips for Working during Your Pregnancy  

Most women can continue to work during their pregnancy. Though the first few months of a pregnancy can be uncomfortable due to morning sickness and other unpleasant pregnancy symptoms, there isn’t any reason most women can’t continue to work—provided their jobs aren’t too physically demanding.

Being pregnant can make working less enjoyable, but it doesn’t have to be unbearable. There are a few things that pregnant women can do to ease their discomfort:

Bring plenty of snacks. Morning sickness is worse if you let your stomach get empty. It’s a good idea to have healthy snacks like nuts and whole wheat crackers nearby for anytime snacking.

Stay hydrated. Your body needs extra fluids during pregnancy, particularly if you are losing fluids due to morning sickness or diarrhea. Keep a bottle of water or juice with you at all times.

Get your vitamins. Make sure that you’re eating healthy and getting enough of all the vitamins and minerals you need during your pregnancy. In particular, make sure that you’re getting sufficient iron and protein. If you aren’t, you risk becoming fatigued.

Avoid the things that trigger your nausea. Morning sickness is often triggered by smells and tastes. If the person who shares your cubicle brings a particularly smelly lunch to their desk, politely ask them to eat in the lunchroom. Failing that, remove yourself from the situation. Go for a walk outdoors and get some fresh air.

Get proper support. If you work at a desk job, make sure that your chair is comfortable. Bring in some extra cushions if you need some more support for your back.

Take breaks. You’re pregnant, so you deserve to take some extra breaks! Getting up from your desk and moving around can help you feel refreshed and energized. Getting outdoors for some fresh air can help alleviate queasiness.

Take a deep breath. If you ever start to feel overwhelmed, remove yourself from the situation. Go to a quiet place in your workplace, close your eyes and focus on your breathing for a few minutes. Workplace stress is bad enough when you don’t have the added pressure of being pregnant. Remember that you control the stress—it doesn’t control you!

Most importantly, be safe! If your job normally involves performing physically demanding tasks (such as prolonged standing, heavy lifting or operating heavy machinery), ask your employer to find someone else to take over. During your pregnancy, you should stick to safe activities that don’t place undue stress on your body.
