While overcoming your daily work, passing the tests of your pregnancy will be one of the most challenging times in your life. Show a positive attitude so that this period passes on smoothly and do not allow anyone to intimidate you.
Pay attention to your nutrition!
Nutrition of pregnant woman should be maintained under the supervision of a doctor. With your doctor’s approval, you will eat more meals than before. Even when a little snack sometimes creates a problem in your office, how you can cope with additional 4-5 snacks/meals a day?
Making your preparations beforehand is the secret behind dealing with frequent meals. Take advantage of small, easy-to-carry trays for small snacks. If you are working in a crowded and small office, you can choose alternatives that do not smell too much and are easier to consume. As snacks, you can try healthy alternatives such as fruit, yoghurt and almonds. It is important for you and your baby’s health that your diet covers omega 3, folic acid and calcium.
Move your body…
After a while, sitting dormant during pregnancy may cause swelling and varicose in legs. Do not hesitate to take short walks inside or outside the office. Never do heavy work and consult your doctor before deciding to do exercise.
Stay away from smoking areas!
In some offices, the social hours usually mean smoking. Leaving colleagues in the office may not sound good. However, you should give priority to keeping yourself and your baby away from breathing smoke over your social needs. Stay away from smoking places in your business and private life. Do not let others smoke near you.
During long meetings ...
Long meetings can turn into a real test for pregnant women. During all-day meetings, the need to use toilet, nausea and hunger may put you under pressure. Sit somewhere near the door in long meetings. So if you have to go to the toilet, you can quickly get out of the meeting room without waiting for the whole team to give you way. Everyone will empathize with you.
