Treatment at work

There will be many bosses and colleagues who expect you to work the same way whether you’re pregnant or not, and if we work differently, they see it as an excuse. I believe that as a pregnant woman, I have a duty as a worker to still work as hard as I can, but to know my limits. If I can’t do something, I will say so. My bigger duty is to my baby. I’m the only one who can protect my baby. I’ll put it this way.. If I died the next day, the work in the office would still carry on. I’m dispensable and replaceable. But if something happened to me or my baby, that would be a very different story. Of course, quitting would be the last resort, but you need to definitely look out for yourself and your baby. On days you’re feeling well, work harder so your boss knows that you’re a valuable team player. But on days you’re not well, take care of yourself and your baby first. Then you’ll have no regrets, and you’ll also have the respect and understanding from bosses and colleagues
