The news that you will soon become a mother, can not just surprise, but even lead to confusion. Very rarely, pregnancy occurs in the schedule we have planned in advance, most often this happens unexpectedly, and at the most unsuitable moment. It so happened that now you are standing on the threshold of a new life. The joyful news of the soonest increase in the family quickly scattered among the people close to you, and now you are seriously thinking about how to live on. Moreover, to live on is necessary fully, because now for a woman the word "I", smoothly flows into the word "we".
Work during pregnancy
Replenishment in the family is a responsible business that requires both moral and material investments. To say at work about pregnancy is necessary at once, it is not necessary to hide your interesting position, since soon others will notice it. In addition, pregnant women should have a special attitude. If, for some reason, the thought that you are becoming less popular because you are using your privileges, and you are fired, then remember, no one has the right to dismiss a pregnant woman, except for the case of liquidation of an enterprise or cessation of its activities. In support of your situation, you need to bring a certificate of pregnancy for work, which can be obtained at any women's consultation.
Temporary work, part-time work and pregnancy
Work during pregnancy provides for some changes, for example, the employer must transfer the pregnant woman to an easier working schedule, if necessary, free from business trips, night shifts, work on weekends and holidays, etc. Even if the pregnant woman is absolutely healthy, in the event that the previous type of work is harmful to her position, the employer must transfer her to temporary work with little workload for health. Also, you will need to receive payments at work on pregnancy. In no case do not be shy about your situation, but on the contrary, use all your rights and benefits. This is your legal right given to give birth to a healthy and strong child. After all, it's not a secret for anyone that a child, while still in a state of embryo, is already able to experience the same feelings and sensations as his mother. Any stress or physical overload can affect the state of health
But, unfortunately, no working woman is able to completely avoid stress at work. Sometimes, knowing about the "situation", the boss or co-worker will make an unpleasant remark or raise the tone in conversation, which can often lead to a nervous breakdown. You can not answer the offenders with a mutual outburst of negativity, try to restrain yourself and mentally calm yourself, because it's not worth your nerves, and worry about the baby, because he is in no way to blame, why should he be nervous with his mother.
You can forget about the usual methods of stress relieving. If earlier you could afford to have a cup of coffee or a cigarette after an unpleasant conversation, now you can do some breathing exercises or if possible arrange a walk in the fresh air. If this is not possible, you can drink a cup of sweet tea with mint, or eat a piece of chocolate, according to scientists, it calms the nerves.
Pregnancy and new work
If the work of the future mother does not, it does not matter. Get a job for a pregnant woman is quite possible. Of course, employers are not in a hurry to employ pregnant women, because with pregnant women a lot of worries, only recruited, and already need to look for a replacement, to pay maternity, etc. But, of course, there is a way out. At the first stages of pregnancy is not too pronounced, therefore it is necessary to find a job in the shortest possible time. Not that you need to deceive the employer and keep silent about pregnancy, it's just for you at the moment it's important to get a job to be able to provide yourself and the baby financially. Therefore, you will have to behave accordingly, if you value your own child's life, and not the welfare of "someone else's uncle." Do not resort to open lies when hiring, just answer some questions about pregnancy in a streamlined or vague way, without giving out your position. After all, you do not have a baby yet.
So, you got the job. How now to be with colleagues and management who have remained to some extent deceived by you at job placement. It is advisable to show from the very first days of employment that you are a responsible, valuable and irreplaceable worker. Employers appreciate such employees, and therefore will take a more lenient approach to your upcoming motherhood. Also, try to have friendly and friendly relations with colleagues at work, in which case, new friends will be able to work for you in front of your superiors.
Pregnancy and work at the computer
Sedentary work in pregnancy is not contraindicated. If most of the time at work you are sitting at a computer or just at a table, it can lead to stagnation of blood in the small pelvis. Try to divide the schedule of work so that during the working day you can afford to allocate some time for easy charging or a small walk. Move more often during the whole working day, more walk in your spare time.
Work on maternity leave
Some women consider the option of working at home during pregnancy, because they understand that the birth of a child will not allow them, as before, to engage exclusively in careers. An excellent way out of this situation will be work at home, which you can tune in before the birth of the baby, at the first stages of pregnancy. Having started to work immediately after pregnancy, you will save yourself from possible postpartum depression. But, like any work, work at home has its own characteristics, so you have to carefully weigh everything before making the final choice.
