This is the second set of What is Life to be a Working Mom Series 🙂
I’ve been working for 14 years now and I cannot imagine myself without doing anything for a day. I want to keep myself busy. And I have been dreaming for a long time to have my own baby.
In my case I have to wait for four months to get pregnant which is not bad because I have a polycystic ovary. You can check it here
It’s my first pregnancy and I am working, what would be my life. I am working as an Executive Assistant to the President of the company which means I belong to the world of stress. The good thing my boss is easy to talk with and he even supported me throughout my pregnancy.
Here are my thoughts of being pregnant while working
If you’re having a low-risk, normal pregnancy, you can certainly continue working. However, your employer must review the potential risks of the work you do and make sure your work won’t put your health or your baby’s health at risk.
1. The first thing to do once you are confirmed pregnant you have to secure a SSS Maternity notification, asked your OB to signed with attached ultra sound and informed your superior.
2. Make it sure that your work place is free from physical hazards.
3. During your first trimester you may only require minimal standing and as much as possible no lifting of heavy objects.
4. Make yourself comfortable
5. Taking time to eat regular meals
6. Wear comfortable shoes and loose clothing
7. Take it easy as possible
Can I work right up to my due date?
Yes you can work up to your due date; you can work as long as you want. As long you are in good health and your OB still allowed you to work. You can choose when to start maternity leave.
Can I drive until my due date?
Yes you can as long you are in good condition and also your car.
Is there any risk working with a computer?
There is no evidence that working at a computer will put you into risk or cause any harm with you and to your baby. You just need frequent breaks.
Hope this one help lovely mommies 🙂
About Me
Welcome to my space, my world! I’m Mommy Anna, a first time mommy, a wife, daughter, sister, and a friend.
Having a family, a working mommy and other woman duties rocked my world. I have a little time but a lot of things to do. My world is surrounded by my two boys (as of now), my family, my relatives, my office mate, my on line friends and my true friends. Each day I want to share and discover passion for things that makes them happy. Learning from my past experiences, I want to live life to the fullest, no holding back of anger. I want to be full of love.
My family loves Disney and has considered buying a timeshare near the park, but timeshares seem difficult to get rid of once you own. Fortunately, there are many sites online that can advise you on how to get out of timeshare. A company like Wesley Financial Group may also be able to help.

I was lucky enough to be working in a company that is supportive of working pregnant women. I hope that all working pregnant women will really enjoy the support of their companies.
Excellent tips for working mom! I worked right up to a week before my scheduled inducement. It can be tough but as long as you’re able and your healthy it’s possible.
Me I have a high risk of pregnancy due to my medical condition. My three children were born premature no matter I have tried taking care of myself when I was pregnant. 🙁 Thanks for sharing this mommy ♥
i am also a working mum. Lucky coz I have nice bosses who totally understand me. As in I am allowed to come in late kasi my morning sickness is crazy! Buti morning lang talaga and I was able to function well sa hapon. 🙂
same here! Lucky to have a boss that can understand.
Great tips! My supervisors back when I was pregnant were very supportive during my pregnancy. Whenever I had to take it easy, they never forced me to work.
Hi there!
These are really good tips 🙂 I was in second in year in law school when I found out I was pregnant – and I didn’t even know it at first. I was still driving and staying up late and even wearing corporate attire and heels (because of the dress code) until I found out I was 6 weeks pregnant. Good thing the term ended during my third month so I was able to rest after. And even better when my baby turned out healthy 🙂
In my experience I didn’t know that I am pregnant na nagpahilot pa ako, I took pain reliever medicines and after that we had a girlfriends night out mga two weeks na siguro me pregnant. Buti na lang nothing happened to him.
I’m a full time mom and it’s already hard being pregnant. I can just imagine how harder it is to be in the office all day. Just make sure that you don’t stress yourself and take even just a short nap during lunch break to re-energize yourself.
usually early lunch me and will sleep during the whole lunch break 🙂
Nice tips! What I had was a high-risk pregnancy so I had to be on a complete bed rest for 4 months (until delivery).
Oh! but all the sacrifices that you have done ang sarap ng kapalit diba its really worth it lalo na if they smile.
I had a low risk/ normal pregnancy and I remembered my teammates would always tell me what I should do and what I should avoid.
same here I had an easy pregnancy and spoiled preggy by that time.
Nice tips, mommy! Nung first pregnancy ko marami akong hindi alam pero ngayon ready na ulit ako magka-baby #2 at sisiguraduhin ko na din na ayos ang SSS ko. 🙂
Thanks 🙂 yes sss maternity benefits its okay malaki din makukuha for CS its 39k and for normal is 29k
Lucky you, you were able to work pa. I resigned from work when I was pregnant because I need complete bed rest for months.
yes i was able to work until a day that I need to be admitted na :-). When I was in labor room I kept calling my officemates to remind them of my work. Na bed rest din ako for two to three weeks, I am blessed that I had an easy pregnancy sana in the near future same pa din
I realize now that the pregnancy period is definitely the time for the mom to take good care of herself and take it easy as well. not only because pre-natal care is important for the baby’s health, but also so the mom can be healthy enough for the tiring and sleepless nights that will come when the baby comes! so I agree with your tips, work and make necessary arrangements, but also make yourself comfortable and take it easy! God bless!
Hi Mommy Rina! I agree once the baby is out your life will totally changed 100%. Mas okay na pregnant kasi nasa tummy pa lang siya.
Great tips! I changed work when I was pregnant, primarily because my previous work was so far.
Thanks 🙂 i am lucky that my boss and co workers were so supportive in my pregnancy, I was spoiled by that time.
Back when I was working and pregnant, I was lucky to have flexible working arrangements. But I did miss running, since, as you have mentioned, avoid stress and taking it easy as possible
These are great tips for the working and expecting mom! Hope you’re having a smooth pregnancy mommy!
