Pregnancy is a physically and mentally taxing task. While at work handling schedules, meetings, and ad hoc tasks can double up your stress and fatigue levels. But aren’t you too strong to handle these? Yeah, you are. Just a few do’s and don’ts, you will be as fit as a fiddle.
Handling stress
First of all, let’s address the most significant issue faced by working women. Handling stress while working can be tough. Over the years, experts suggest numerous ways to handle stress. But the best way to handle stress is to avoid stress. In your workplace, prepare a to-do list at the start of each day and prioritize your tasks. It is always okay to share your frustrations with your coworker, who is also a friend. To relax, people follow numerous ways like breathing slowly, reading, listening to music, or staying in a quiet space. Figure out what works for you.
Make yourself comfortable
Moving around can be harder than before as your pregnancy progresses. Take frequent breaks to walk around to avoid fluid buildup in the legs and feet. Procure yourself a comfortable chair with good posture and cushion. This might show a worldly difference if you’re sitting for long hours. If you stand for long hours, try a small footrest or stool to rest one of your feet.
Nausea and vomiting
Nausea can be a real thorn in your side during pregnancy. While going through your pregnancy, you might find some odors and tastes that trigger nausea. Steer clear of them at all costs in your workplace. Keep snacking whenever you can and stay hydrated. Vitamin B6 is a good agent to block nausea during pregnancy.
