How do you manage stress at work during pregnancy?

I can relate as sometimes work can be very stressful for me to, stress isn’t good. I would say defo talk about it with your employer, I would say maybe approach someone who you feel the most comfortable with and can also be of help.

Then I would say leave work at work which is what I try and do once I’m home I try and switch off and do my own thing to relax I find alone time and meditation can help. I myself have an issue with some of the gossip at work so now I’m trying to be professional at all times and not even allow myself to be pulled in to toxic energy and navigate towards the supportive ones at work ❤️💕💕💕 and always here if you ever just wanna vent

I have a very demanding job, and was working really long hours whilst pregnant. I just powered through and made sure I rested on weekends. I often needed to work on the weekend too but I would have really lazy weekends to rest up.

Following. I'm in the same position, I'm nearly 17 weeks and these past few days it's been super stressful, in addition one of my colleagues is leaving at the beginning of September, one of them is going on sick leave at the end of August for at least 4 weeks. My manager hasn't spoken to me about the logistics behind all of this, also my maternity pay is based on 2 months of my salary before I go so meaning i might be less because I won't get my enchanced payments if I go back to do Monday - Friday. I think I need to schedule a meeting with my manager but she never has the time.

As much as stress isn't good they are very resilient and I had a stressful job, with covid and my work being very discriminative. So I'm sure baby will be fine. However there is no problem discussing this with work as part of your risk assessment and work adjustments x

I think you have to try to manage it yourself, and communicate with your employers, take regular breaks,. Speak to occupational health etc

Communicate with co workers, set boundaries for cut off times & stick to them, and look after yourself! Know it’s hard, but doing this for yourself now will help you through the next 30
Weeks!!

I was in a similar condition in early phase. I tried few things after first trimester which helped a lot. First try to talk to your manager and set your work boundaries. And if possible try meditation as it helps to keep the mind calm. Apart from this I did practice few simple yoga, but we need to consult the midwife before starting any form of physical exercise.

I dealt with that it was very annoying, take a day off say its severe morning sickness do it on a Thursday so that you have a long weekend
