Advice on Pre-natal Work and Employment.
Most pregnant women are now employed during pregnancy, and almost all pregnant women do physical work of some kind. The author reviews the four major considerations in the provision of good prenatal advice for the working woman: the woman and her health status, the pregnancy itself, the job, and the woman's circumstances. Particular features of the job, including physical, chemical, biological, and psychological factors, are noted. For further information on specific work exposures, the family physician can consult expert sources. The author outlines general features of prenatal information that can be provided for all women who work during pregnancy.
