Working While Pregnant? Why Not?

Filed in archive Pregnacy and Careers by Gloria Gamat on May 03, 2008

Yeah, why not? Every woman can work while pregnant. But of course it won't be easy. I always believe that it is best to tell your boss and colleagues about your pregnancy. Be sure to tell them though after the first trimester. That's when it's best to announce it to others because during the first trimester is the highest risk of miscarriage.

Also, discuss everything with your doctor, most especially the kind of work that you do. High risk pregnancy women are women 35 years of age and older.

Colleague Dr. Laurie Zephyrin, an obstetrician/gynecologist, advises that pregnant working women bring any questions or concerns to their doctor, especially if they are older than 35 since those women run a higher risk for complications like preterm labor and preeclampsia.


Dr. Tamara Kuittinen, an emergency medicine physician at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center and an expecting mother, said in a prepared statement:

"By anticipating and planning for some of these challenges, working mothers-to-be can enjoy these nine months both on the job and off.


It pay to not miss any doctor's appointment while pregnant.

I never had any problems working while I was pregnant. And I did everything my ob-gyne told me. Of course it wasn't easy, especially with the additional on my back, hips and belly. But it can be done.

What about you, any problems at work while pregnant?

Read the full report from The Washington Post.
