In your early stage of pregnancy if u can go on sick leave pls do as it is the most important stage of pregnancies . After the 1st trimester u have to be active so that when it time for labour babba will come out willingly.

The best advice I can give is to let your boss know that you are pregnant, they then will have a risk assessment for you which will outline what you’re able to do/ not comfortable doing. It will also go through things like your workstation, chemicals you might come across etc. This might help reassure you what you can do at work.

I'm going to be honest I have been at a job from January, in February I fell pregnant and then had a stressful encounter in April and basically at the end of April I went on sick leave as I was bleeding and was scared I will lose the baby. If my job wasn't so stressful I would've continued working until labour pretty much as I had a WFH situation. I am glad I was on sick leave the whole pregnancy though as I had time to look up what I needed for the baby. I could've gone out more during the day for walks during second trimester mainly. During first I was sleeping when I could as I was extremely tired. And then in the third I had horrible PGP and couldn't walk even 5 steps so most of the days I spent in bed or on the sofa as everything hurt otherwise. I did go swimming almost daily though as that helped with the PGP and was the only exercise I could do.
