Handling pregnancy and your job
July 17, 2009
Pregnancy is a time of excitement and expectation. A lot of women are in active work force these days. Most of them put off having a baby because of apprehensions about how to handle their jobs and excel at it while being pregnant.
Pregnancy is a state when the body goes through a lot of changes and the result is tiredness and fatigue. Follow these tips to make the best of your pregnancy and your job.
Announcing your pregnancy: This needs to be done with tact. It is essential to inform your supervisor first. This can be at around 3 months. If required, it may be announced a little ahead so your boss understands the reason for your morning sickness and nausea and the inability to come to work on time.
It is important to assure your boss that your work will not suffer and that despite your physical condition, you will give it your best shot.
Garnering support at work: It is essential to have proper back up and support at the office during your pregnancy.
Morning sickness & nausea may keep you going late to work. Having to go to doctor appointments may eat into your working day. It is imperative to inform your boss earlier on, so they can be prepared to cover for your work and evenly distribute your workload to help cut back on your workload.
Maternity Leave: All companies have leave policies. Seek and understand the maternity leave process at your office. It should give you an idea of how and when to apply.
It also gives you an idea of when to return to work after having the baby. Apart from this, keeping colleagues and your boss updated on your workflow and deliverables is a professional thing to do, so they can ensure that there is a seamless flow of activities.
Make your Office comfortable: Seek managements’ permission to make your work area comfortable when you are pregnant. A back support, a stool to put up your feet may be some of the special items you can bring in with permission of your boss.
The above-mentioned tips can help you stay stress free during this most important period of your life.
