I have a desk job and im just 9 weeks in. Family keeps telling me to take rest but i feel fine and want to continue working. Is it ok to keep going to office through pregnancy? How did u all manage?
I worked till my last week before my C-section. While working is great, please save some of your maternity leaves for postpartum recovery because healing from a C-section takes a lot of time and rest. Don't push yourself too hard at the office.
My saas was very worried about me going to the office every day, but my gynac assured her that working is actually healthy. We reached a compromise—I worked but avoided long commutes and took home-cooked dabba daily. It worked out perfectly!
I worked full-time throughout my pregnancy and looking back, I'm glad I did because it kept me busy. Just listen to your body—if you feel tired, take a 10-minute walk or put your feet up. It is completely safe as long as your doctor says so.
Yes, dear, working is absolutely fine and healthy. Just make sure to take small breaks to stretch your legs and don't take too much stress. Your well-being is the most important.
Of course you can work, it keeps your mind active! I worked till my 38th week, mostly because my office was right next to a market with the best street food! Just make sure to pack healthy snacks like dry fruits and keep sipping water throughout the day.
Beta, you can definitely work, but don't overexert yourself. In our times, women worked in the fields and house till the last day, but they also took proper rest. Make sure you don't lift heavy things, eat your home-cooked meals on time, and sit comfortably with back support.
