Story that told one of my friends……
My Teddy Bear at once, back in the tummy, dislike the rest of the computer and office equipment. I would love him gave way, but without the internet site editor can not exist. And the degree of the hand writing is somehow not accepted. So Misha decided radically question: for all the computers where I worked began to “fly Windows” is malfunctioning, which no one had ever heard of anti-virus software stopped working. Even copier and he was silent for ever. When I left the office on maternity leave for six weeks before delivery (not to rest – I had to deal with a diploma), all colleagues were relieved. Finally, our office equipment will function properly.
The most amazing thing is that after the birth of my relationship to progress to establish. But seriously, the future mom better take care of your workplace. For example, I settled on his desk largest cactus, which I managed to get. It turns out that the massive leaves of the plant are designed to “neutralize harmful radiation from the monitor.” During the months of the stomach has accumulated experience in dealing with hazards. Maybe the advice will be useful for you:
Your work area should be well organized:
- Convenient lighting to avoid glare on the screen.
- The screen should be at arm’s length.
- Rubbing antistatic solution, because the screen of dust.
- Hard chair with a straight back (better to buy a special – office) and armrests.
- Come in handy footrest (is tiredness).
Protection
- Face wash salt water – dissolve ordinary sea salt, it relieves stress and neutralize the impact of the computer. After not forget to rinse the face with fresh water.
- The time limit of the computer: up to 4 hours. Sometimes you just sit in front of the operating screen and talking on the phone or playing solitaire. These addictions should forget for a while. And on the screen there is a magic button that turns off.
- Ten-minute breaks after half seats are mandatory for the eyes, spine, and your baby.
- Blink often – while working with a computer eyelashes move less, and it is harmful to the eye.
- Open windows, if your office is not directly on the Garden Ring, do not be afraid to get sick! Buy cheap air cleaner. Sit away from the heater.
- If circumstances allow, and the internal state, typing on the keyboard in unusual spectacles, where instead of glass inserted into the rim of the plate made of durable plastic, dark with lots of small holes. These glasses are removed from the eye muscle most of the load. They have to wear every day for 20 minutes.
These simple rules have helped me to make a healthy baby, safely and naturally give birth and get to work already in the first month, while continuing to breastfeed.
Feet together, hands apart
It is clear that the pot-bellied woman, situated in the middle of the office in a pose of “butterflies” or “cats” will, at least, surprising colleagues. But there are exercises that you can not do so spectacularly: rotations neck, soft twisting, stretching.
- If the office has a sofa or chair, a quiet place where you can relax, take advantage of it.
- Use every opportunity to walk – exercise. For the spine, which is already “loaded” big belly, there’s nothing worse than long sitting. Switch feet, get up to pour himself cranberry juice (not coffee).
- Surely even the most “serious” office is a place where you can do exercises – stretch your shoulders and neck.
Vitamins and Minerals
Serious problem during pregnancy is good nutrition. Three-meal to be replaced on the 4 or even 6-one-time, dietary rules stricter. And to find a decent and affordable cafes even in the center of the city hard, as shown by experiments. I was lucky – in our office had a microwave and refrigerator, and I eat more or less regular vegetable mixture heated by cereals and homemade soups. I think that the latter can not afford to almost every woman. The difficulty, as a rule, is where all of these homemade goodies to eat?
Already in the second month, I was not paying attention to the jokes around about my intensive feeding, my table was covered with cheese, cheese, yogurt, boiled potatoes, salads and fruit. Every half hour, as Winnie the Pooh, I gleefully rubbing their hands “Is not it time we eat? ‘. By the way, the food can be placed in convenient plastic containers – if your office environment official and does not allow these nutrients celebrations. In gentlemanly set of pregnant women are nuts, milk and milk products, fruit (in season), bread, butter, cook home salads, and drinking plenty of fluids. And your baby will be strong and happy!
Law and Life
No matter how strong was your boss, by law you are entitled to medical care and the full weekend. This is a rule I have always complied with, because you can not save a child’s health. Serious conversation with the boss about the absences to attend antenatal clinic to be held by your initiative. In the private sector the question of the mode of your work depends directly on your ability to convince the management and administration of the goodwill. In any case, knowledge of the law will not be redundant.
May not be required to work at night, overtime work or work on weekends and in the direction of travel of pregnant women and women with children up to three years.
When the second month of pregnancy, I got a new job “on the agenda” was a grand conference spokesman that I had to be. And every day, edit the news. I do not remember how many times in two weeks preparing the congress, I came home earlier than 11 hours. During the congress had to stay in a boarding house outside Moscow to work, work and work.
It is recommended to transfer to lighter work of pregnant women and women with children under the age of eighteen months.
Women are entitled to maternity leave of seventy days before the birth and after seventy.
Maternity leave shall be calculated cumulatively and by law granted to a woman completely. Sick leave you have to get to the women’s clinic (I was always happy with the column “Diagnosis” – pregnancy). Maternity leave is paid at 100 percent of earnings, regardless of length of service.
Before you leave for maternity leave or immediately after, or at the end of leave to care for a child the woman at her request, granted annual leave, regardless of length of service in the enterprise, institution, or organization.
This paper – my favorite! I do not know where to find such an employer who would have honored the letter of the law, but you have a unique chance to stay twice. When you take leave to care for a child, you can work part-time or at home.
