Should women restrict work during pregnancy?

Maintaining an active and productive lifestyle helps make time pass faster and adds to a feeling of accomplishment. Working during pregnancy is usually not a problem unless a woman has risk factors or a complicated pregnancy. Women should check with their healthcare providers for specific restrictions. With an uncomplicated pregnancy, working close to or near the due date should not be a problem. Pregnant women should wear comfortable clothing, move around frequently if sedentary, drink plenty of fluids, and have time to rest and take breaks. Women with strenuous jobs, those who work with heavy machinery, or those who work with toxic chemicals should consult their healthcare providers and their job's occupational department for restrictions or concerns.
