Im 6 months along and my job has become so hectic, deadlines and all. By evening i feel completely drained and thoda guilty ki ye baby pe asar na kare. How did u all manage office stress, any tips?
I completely feel you, managing deadlines with morning sickness is absolutely exhausting. Please be kind to yourself and don't hesitate to ask your colleagues for help. Your health and your baby come first right now, dear.
Having lost a baby before, I became extremely cautious about stress during my next pregnancy. Please prioritize your peace, talk to your HR if needed, and avoid taking on heavy workloads. Nothing is more precious than your well-being right now.
Honestly, just do the bare minimum at work and blame it on pregnancy brain, haha! I used to take sneaky 10-minute power naps in the office cabin. Trust me, save your energy now because sleep will become a luxury later!
My grandmother always advised me to listen to soothing music and keep a small box of dry fruits at my desk to stay calm. Also, do share your work stress levels with your doctor so they can advise you on safe relaxation techniques.
Stress can really mess with your hormone levels, like it did with my thyroid during pregnancy. Please make sure to get your regular blood tests and doctor follow-ups done to ensure stress isn't affecting your levels.
Keeping my stress low helped me stay active, which eventually made my normal delivery much smoother. Try doing light breathing exercises at your desk and don't let office politics get to you. You are doing an amazing job!
