About 78 percent of pregnant women carry on work through the end of pregnancy. Confer with your doctor about working in the course of pregnancy. She will take into deliberation your general health, how well the pregnancy is going, and any issues you have had with previous pregnancies. She will also assess your work: how many hours you work, and whether your job might harm you or your baby. Some women might have to quit or limit work in the course of the pregnancy because of health hazards or particularly demanding jobs.

Ten Timely Tips for Pregnant Working Women

1. Eat 3 to 5 healthful meals in a day, as well as nourishing snacks, like cut up raw vegetables, fruit, cheese, yogurt whole grain cereal without eggs, sugar and so forth.

2. Keep healthy snacks available at work, like peanut butter, popcorn and crackers, hardboiled, cheese, eggs, and fruit. Hunger or low blood sugar may result into nausea, but soda crackers and peppermint tea reduce it.
3. To stay prepared, keep a notebook handy and mark reminders to yourself at home and at work.
4. Drink plenty of water all through the day to hydrate yourself. Be certain to get sufficient vitamin C from juices, fruits or supplements.
5. Get 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night.
6. Moderate work out, like walking, lessens the prospect of varicose veins, blood clots and swelling of the legs and feet. Evade lifting and heavy work, as well as heavy work out. Swimming is an ideal work out for pregnant women.
7. Don’t smoke or permit yourself to be near secondhand smoke; it is very injurious to you and the baby. Exposure to smoke can cause premature birth, abortion, infant death and low birth weight.
8. Do not drink alcohol at all. There is no safe quantity of alcohol in the course of the pregnancy.
9. Do not take any medicines - even if they are over the counter or herbal - unless permitted by your physician, particularly in the course of the first two months of pregnancy.
10. Evade video display terminals and microwaves.
