If you are pregnant, you may wonder how long you should continue working.
Many women safely work until only a few days before the birth of their babies.
Depending on your company's benefits and family leave policies, working until just before the baby is born may give you more time at home after the birth. Some jobs involve work that may not be safe to do during pregnancy. Talk with your healthcare provider early in pregnancy about the kind of work you do. Advice will be offered if you need to make some changes in your work assignment. Get up every 15 minutes for a stretch break.
