Your Pregnancy Wellbeing at Work: Managing Work and Pregnancy Successfully Kindle Edition

by Emma Thomson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 25 ratings
Updated and revised in 2018, this book offers a step by step guide on how best to plan your pregnancy journey at work. It includes a week by week checklist with key dates and deadlines. Most women working full time spend on average, three quarters of their pregnancy at work. With pregnancy discrimination still common amongst employers, the result is that many women find the experience of working whilst pregnant stressful and demanding. It doesn’t have to be. This book covers topics such as planning for maternity, how to look after your wellbeing and keep stress levels low and how to communicate with your employer effectively. It’s full of practical advice and no nonsense self-help tips on how to get the best out of what should be a unique and very happy experience.

Questions with the author:
Q: Who is this book for?
A: Anyone who is working and planning a pregnancy in the future and all those who are working and already pregnant.
Q: Won’t my employer tell me all this? Or my midwife?
A: No! Your employer has certain obligations which include keeping you safe at work and providing you with relevant maternity pay and leave provisions. They will advise you on their company maternity policy and your statutory rights but that is likely all they’ll do.
Your midwife will see you a few times through your pregnancy to monitor the health of you and your baby and advise on motherhood. Although they will do their best to answer any questions you have, they are experts in maternity care, not employment.

    I bought this book as I have a very busy job and was worried about how I would cope during my pregnancy. The chapter on communication was good. Wish I’d bought it earlier and I could have been more organised.
