Any
tips on staying comfortable on the job?
The biggest challenge will be staying comfortable during
you're the nine month duration as you find yourself
battling with your discomforts day in and day out. Some
tips to tide you over
• Put your foot up on a stool to relieve pressure on
your lower back
• Take regular breaks from the PC to avoid being hard
on your body. Pregnant women are at an increased risk
of suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome - a painful
condition that can affect the wrist and lower arms if
a lot of time is spent at the keyboard
• Keep a glass of water on your desk at all times so
that you will remember to drink frequently and NEVER
skip meals no matter how hectic your day gets
• Take 5 to 10 minutes to catnap during your break or
lunchtime by putting your head on your desk
• Keep stress to a minimum and accept any offers of
help. People love helping a pregnant woman so don't
be shy if help comes your way.
