Your Pregnant Work LifeVideo Description:During pregnancy, most women still work at the office. Many women wonder whether the office is safe for a pregnant mom. Here are the facts on workplace safety while pregnant. Transcript:As much as you might like it to, your work responsibilities won’t go away just because you’re pregnant. Here’s what you should know working while you’re with child. If you work in an office environment, you may be concerned about exposure to computers or photocopy machines. Luckily, a great deal of research has shown that even all day exposure to these devices won’t hurt your baby in the slightest. If your work-life involves spending the day on your feet, you should know that this is also perfectly safe. However, take frequent breaks to move around, as periods of standing without movement can lead to low blood pressure. Also, walking around periodically can help to prevent pregnancy blood clots in your legs. Another common workplace worry is that cell phone use may have an effect on the fetus. This stems partly from a Dutch study, which showed that kids whose mothers used cell phones while pregnant had an increased risk of behavioral problems. But even the study’s authors admit that much more research is needed. Most regular work activities are perfectly safe for pregnant women, but if you’re concerned about something in particular, make sure to discuss it with your doctor.
