While Pregnant A guide to workplace hazards if you're pregnant. More women are working outside the home than ever before. In most cases, you can plan to continue working through most of your pregnancy. That's not to say pregnancy won't affect your ability to work. You may feel extremely fatigued, especially in the early weeks, and you'll no doubt have to use the bathroom more frequently than usual.
Morning sickness can certainly get in the way of a pleasant day at work.
Your need to snack during the day may be against job policy. Increase in body size, back problems, swelling, and fatigue can make some jobs more difficult as pregnancy progresses. Arranging to get away for your regular checkups may conflict with your job schedule. And if complications occur, you may have no choice but to discontinue work altogether. Although some women actually manage to work safely until the day before delivery, most will take off the last month or so.
