hi archie,have been constantly reading your messages for the past 4 months ,i am 4 months pregnant but have to undertake a lot of travel by trains due to my job profile.My till date tests and u/s have been normal but at times i get worried abt the possible harms it can cause my child.just wanted to know by wat time shud i take leave frm my job so dat i ve adequate rest and delever a healthy child supriya replied. hi,i am in 33rd week of pregnancy.let me tell you that i also have extensively travelled till 5th month of pregnancy.i had same concerns as you but so far everything is allright.when you do long distance travelling always travel by train,drink lots of water,eat properly,dont keep sitting in the same posture for hours,try to stretch little bit.avoid jerks if you are forced to travel by road.if distance is manageable then you may prefer to walk rather than taking autorickshaw etc.
as about leave i think you will know when you need rest.dont exert yourself but dont be overcautious.i am at present in the 32nd week but planning to come to office for 4 more weeks.my job is highly stressfull and involves lot of responsibilities still managing b'z it is better to remain active till end.but remember listen to your body signals.dont strain unnecessarily archie replied. if all is fine I won't be worried today.
Will see how you cope up in third trimester and decide on leave as to, should you take before labor or work till you are in labor.
Archie
