l. Pregnancy and Work
In most cases, you can continue working during your pregnancy. You may have to rest more and change certain things to be more comfortable at work.
Many women require more rest during the first three and the last three months of their pregnancy. If you can lay down a while on your side during your dinner hour or during the breaks, do it.
1. Strenuous Work During Pregnancy
Certain women have a job that can be too strenuous during pregnancy. Do the following test to check your situation.
2. Hazards in the Workplace
In certain workplaces, there are products or devices that can cause malformations or miscarriages. The most important sources of danger are chemicals, solvents, gases, metals, and radiation. If you have any concerns, consult your health care provider. It is up to you to inquire about the risks at your job.
You can also get information from your health and safety committee at work. If there is no committee in your workplace, this may be a good time to organize one with your colleagues.
