Being pregnant takes a lot of responsibilities beginning from conception to birth.
Pregnant woman should be prepared of the incoming "new life" not only physically or emotionally but financially as well.
If you are a soon-to-be mom, you can still continue your current job unless restricted by your doctor.
Some employers expect that you render the same number of hours at work before you were pregnant.
Most of the time, you are entitled to take some time off or schedule your pregnancy-related appointments outside the working hours.
As your pregnancy develops, you find out that working becomes a day to day challenge.
You may notice that your legs are swollen, back is aching, and body becomes weak.
The worst thing is that you may suffer from the unbearable morning sickness.
To reduce the occurrences of these problems, you follow these simple tips to help you and your baby at ease while you are at work.
• It is very important to supply what your body demands and most of it is food.
You are most likely to experience frequent hunger.
Hence, you bring nutritious snacks with you like fruits; crackers; and liquids so that you do not need to go out to buy foods whenever you are starving.
Remember that you are eating for two and thus make sure to be cautious of the types and amounts of foods that you are consuming.
• Too much work is unhealthy.
You should take breaks during work to maintain your stamina and energy.
If you are always sitting to perform your tasks, you spend a few minutes standing up or walking around the workplace to promote proper blood circulation and prevent swollen legs.
On the other hand, if you are mostly on your feet, you try to sit down for a few minutes every hour or less to relax your muscles.
• Do not torture yourself to finish unimportant tasks immediately.
As much as possible, you work in a smooth manner so as to prevent emotional distress and confusions.
• Take some time to smile and chat with your co-workers to relax your mind and body.
• It is very important to raise your legs to a thirty-degree elevation for at least 15-20 minutes during bedtime to avoid feet edema and varicose veins.
