Today, most women are forced to continue working life while
pregnant. Working life may be negatively affected due to various changes caused
by pregnancy in the body and from time to time due to pregnancy-related
symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, frequent urination, fatigue, bloating and
cramps. Pregnant women can be severely affected by some odors and food,
depending on the workplace. Because of all this, some regulations have been
introduced by law about working during pregnancy, and workplaces make various
arrangements according to their pregnant employees.
Studies on whether or not women working during pregnancy have
an increased risk of pregnancy and childbirth have not yielded a very clear
result. But in general, women who do not face any dangerous situation or
harmful substances during the day at work can work until the time of birth. The
working environment and conditions of the pregnant woman should be carefully
evaluated.
The
pregnant woman's work should be restricted or stopped altogether if:
- Those with bleeding during pregnancy
- Those with dilatation in the cervix
- Those who have malformation related to the uterus
- Hypertension
- Growth retardation in the fetus
- Those who have given birth earlier
- Polyhydramnios
Chemicals, cleaning agents, solvents, radiation used in some
workplaces can harm the pregnant woman either through direct contact or through
respiration. These are substances such as lead and mercury. You should
investigate the necessary measures to protect yourself in workplaces with such
substances and talk to the business owner. Precautions such as working in
sections that will not be exposed to these items too much, airing your place
occasionally and wearing some special clothes may be required.
Working in an extremely hot workplace or factory can have
some negative effects on pregnancy. In this case, it is necessary to avoid
excessive heat from time to time by taking measures such as moving to a cool
environment, running a fan around and drinking plenty of fluids.
Studies have not found enough evidence that pregnant women
working in hairdressers and beauty salons are at risk. However, since there are
hundreds of chemicals around such workplaces, precautions should be taken such
as using gloves and ventilating inside.
Regardless of the job, the expectant mother should avoid
overloading and bending too much. It should be given a short rest interval in a
few hours and a long rest interval every 4 hours.
