How do I cope with the challenges of Pregnancy while maintaining professionalism?

I am currently expecting, and while I am overjoyed about this new chapter in my life, I've also been facing some unique challenges in balancing my personal and professional responsibilities.

I believe that some of you have been through similar experiences, and your insights would mean the world to me.

I had a few questions on:

  1. When and how did you choose to disclose your pregnancy to your colleagues and superiors?

  2. How did you handle any potential changes in workload or responsibilities?

  3. How do you stay energized and focused during the workday, especially in the later stages of pregnancy?

I understand that everyone's experiences are unique, but I believe your advice and insights can provide valuable guidance during this exciting but sometimes challenging time. Please feel free to share some stories that you're comfortable with.

I am sharing my own experience,
1 - Share it your HR first and then to your superior. That when you will need your work break a tentative one and during this periwig you will work.
2- I am sure when you-reveal this your work pressure will little bit decrease I am sure your superior will understand what you are going through. 3 You have to be happy all the time and just focus on your work. See are raising a human inside you, when my you will think this your work will be smooth automatically. Stay positive and active all the time.

This was my Myntra rest you just take care of your surroundings.

@BrightBroom This is genuinely what I hope happens. I was thinking similar to what you’re saying right now.

I really hope my people support me at this crucial juncture.

Well said. The idea is keeping all stakeholders informed. Generally, they will understand.

Hey congratulations!!!
PS going through something similar.

When did you tell your superiors.. I'm just 7 weeks in and struggling to balance work, hospital visits and nausea.

I can totally understand. It’s very hard.
I told them plain and simple.

I am expecting. So wishing for the best.
First to my manager and then to the HR. there are clear processes here so it was not an issue

Hoing it's as easy for me.. I'm most worried about people saying things like women don't work.. Heard it once about someone, now I'm hoping I work extra hard when I can! 😌
