Still Working on Your Last Trimester of Pregnancy - How to?


You've been counting the days and you're happy since your chance to meet the baby is getting closer and closer. Yet, you are still obliged to work. There are some projects to be done before the due date.

You complain. You get tired easily and you suffer from your back pain. But, you've still got jobs to do.

How to cope with your third trimester of pregnancy and work yet still can be as healthy as possible?

To keep fit, try these tips:

o Watch your posture. For example, if you need to pick something up from the ground, instead of crouch down, why don't you bend at the knees and keep your back straight.

o No heavy lifting. Never ever lift anything heavy up.

o Don't stand to long. If your job requires you to, try to sit once in a while.

o Don't travel. It is better not to travel for such a long period during this last trimester.

o Don't drive too much. If you really need to, do it, just make sure you don't overdo it.

o Sit carefully. Sit in chairs with good back support. You can place a small pillow behind your lower back for extra support. Also keep a space between your belly and the desk. Don't sit too long. Take a moment to walk around the room once in a while.

o Try light exercises. You can walk around with your husband in a nice morning or evening.

o Before taking leaves, get everything done. Or, hand it over to your colleagues. If you are asked to find someone to replace you during your maternity leaves, do it very early.

o Always have your pregnancy record inside your bag. Who knows, you might get the contraction while working on your last days at the office.

Actually working during your last trimester is good to keep you moving so that it might ease the delivery process.
