Work arrangements during pregnancy

Hi mummies, I’m in my first tri going on 2nd tri now, and have been feeling fatigue and still get headaches and nausea. would you think it’s ok to speak to your boss about reduced workload/ reduced working hours? I’m afraid of speaking up because I might get responses like “but if other pregnant mums can do it, why can’t you?”. I’m even ok to have a pay cut to have reduced working hours. Just feeling quite stress about this 😞 #1stimemom #firstbaby

Opt for desk bound or admin work temporarily and if other colleagues needs help with admin work, do offer to help them. Hope your boss agree with these arrangement. Atleast, you can rest and do casual walk around the office at the same time. As your belly grows, you can slowly tell your boss to gradually reduce your workload. Ultimately, dont stress yourself and dont compare with other preggie mommies. Everyone is different. Stay happy and positive mommy.
