PREGNANCY AND WORK

PREGNANCY AND WORK: Work-Life-Baby Balance

Managing a career while growing a baby is no small task. Some days, you’ll feel like you can take on the world. Other days, exhaustion will hit before lunch. Both are normal. Pregnancy brings new challenges, but it doesn’t mean you have to put your professional ambitions on hold. The key? Working in a way that supports both your well-being and your goals.

Here’s how to navigate work while taking care of yourself along the way.

1. SLOW DOWN WITHOUT GUILT

Fatigue, nausea, and brain fog aren’t signs of weakness—they’re proof that your body is working hard. It’s okay if your energy levels fluctuate. Take breaks when needed, hydrate, and listen to your body. Pushing through exhaustion won’t make you more productive, it’ll only make things harder. Work with your energy, not against it.

2. SET BOUNDARIES

Now is the time to get comfortable with advocating for yourself. If you need a modified schedule, more breaks, or to step away from extra commitments, speak up. Delegate when possible and communicate your needs clearly. Protecting your time isn’t selfish, it’s essential.

3. REDEFINE PRODUCTIVITY

Some days, you’ll be unstoppable. Other days, small tasks will feel like big wins. Productivity doesn’t mean working at full speed all the time. Focus on impact over effort—prioritize what truly moves the needle and let go of unnecessary stress. Working smarter, not harder, is the goal.

4. PLAN YOUR LEAVE

Maternity leave can feel like a big unknown, but preparing in advance helps. Have open conversations with your employer, set clear expectations, and create a transition plan. Whether you plan to take a few months or just a few weeks, knowing what to expect can make your leave and your return more seamless.
