It is expected the large majority of pregnant women will experience only mild or moderate cold\/flu-like symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>If you develop more severe symptoms or your recovery is delayed this may be a sign that you are developing a more significant chest infection that requires enhanced care. If your symptoms are worsening or if you are not getting better you should contact your health care provider.<\/p>\n<h2>COVID-19 and Your Baby<\/h2>\n<p>As this is a very new virus, we are just beginning to learn about it. There is no evidence to suggest an increased risk of miscarriage. There is also no evidence that the virus can pass to your baby while you are pregnant or during birth. Expert opinion is that the baby is unlikely to be exposed during pregnancy. It is also therefore considered unlikely that if you have the virus it would cause problems with the baby\u2019s development, and none have been observed currently.

Typically, you will need to consume an extra 300 calories a day. Talk with your maternity care team who can provide advice on nutrition<\/li>\n<li>Routine \u2013 where you can, try to keep to your \u2018normal\u2019 routine, by waking up at the same time and going to bed at the same time as you normally would.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pregnancy can cause fatigue, if you need extra naps during the day, take them<br \/>\nRemember to talk with your manager if you are feeling \u2018out of sorts\u2019 and need extra support whilst you are working at home. Try not to feel guilty if you are taking extra naps, when you wouldn\u2019t normally do if you were working in your normal workplace. If you need a nap, take it.<\/p>\n<p>Depending upon the stage of your pregnancy will depend on how you adapt to working at home. As you know, the further along in your pregnancy, your body will change shape, new hazards related to reach, balance, lifting and repetitive motion may develop.<\/p>\n<p>Only you will know where in your home is the best place to work. You may have options in your home, such as working at your dining room table, or kitchen counter, or even the sofa.<\/p>\n<h3>Wherever you decide to work:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Set an alarm, so every 30 minutes you get up and walk and stretch<\/li>\n<li>You may want to consider raising your feet on a footrest (if you have one) or a makeshift footrest such as a box, this will give you extra support and reduce swelling<\/li>\n<li>Support your lower back and cushion your tailbone with a cushion or a rolled-up towel\/blanket<\/li>\n<li>Pregnant women are prone to developing carpal tunnel syndrome, so it is essential that you keep your wrists in a neutral position, do not rest them on the keyboard<\/li>\n<li>Avoid unnecessary reaching by keeping things you use frequently close to you. An example of this is to keep your elbows down towards your sides, with your phone and mouse in reach while still maintaining your arms close to your side<\/li>\n<li>As your tummy grows, your spine curves more, especially in the lower back to accommodate the growing baby<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember to talk with your manager about your expectations while you work at home during this time.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in contact with your maternity care team and attend all of your appointments where you can.<\/p>\n<p>If you need further advice whilst working at home, please contact your maternity care team and\/or your work\u2019s occupational health team.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f3142-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\" data-wpcf7-id=\"3142\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3949#wpcf7-f3142-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" aria-label=\"Contact form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<fieldset class=\"hidden-fields-container\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"3142\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"6.1.5\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f3142-o1\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7cf_hidden_group_fields\" value=\"[]\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7cf_hidden_groups\" value=\"[]\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7cf_visible_groups\" value=\"[]\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7cf_repeaters\" value=\"[]\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7cf_steps\" value=\"{}\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7cf_options\" value=\"{&quot;form_id&quot;:3142,&quot;conditions&quot;:[],&quot;settings&quot;:{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;animation_intime&quot;:200,&quot;animation_outtime&quot;:200,&quot;conditions_ui&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;notice_dismissed&quot;:false,&quot;notice_dismissed_rollback-cf7-5.8.6&quot;:true,&quot;notice_dismissed_rollback-cf7-5.9.2&quot;:true}}\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7dtx_version\" value=\"5.0.5\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_recaptcha_response\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/fieldset>\n<div id=\"responsive-form\" class=\"clearfix\">\n\t<p><strong>Like this?
