I am pregnant right now and I don't really have big worries about my pregnancy. I still work in my 6,5th pregnancy month but these are two last weeks I am working before going in maternity leave. I feel fine and are happy to be a mum! I go to water aerobics to avoid myself from feeling heavy. I fully enjoy this time! I hope your pregnancy goes well! The most important is to listen in your body, don't do more than it can cope, don't try to be strong and too active, find the best feeling for yourself and keep on the line!

At the first trimester of my pregnancy, perhaps I walked too much, and I was bleeding. This was my biggest worries, also I didn't know it's considered a common issue for many pregnant women too. I was told by my doctor that my placenta was quite low, and I should take more rest. So, I decided to request to work from home, and fortunately my boss allowed me to do so. I started to work from home until now, a few days to my expected due date. Frankly speaking, I really do not understand how other pregnant women can still go to work, I felt tired easily and I always felt giddy during my pregnancy period. Especially during the last trimester, my stomach was painful sometimes. But, as I can work at home, so I feel much better. As dealing with the worries, my husband always told me worries do not help anything, but it may make the baby unhealthy. So, I always try to tell myself this, and take more rest. Just think of my baby, and I should not worry.

I had worries about not feeling connected to the baby I felt like it was a dream, I know have a connection and dont worry about it any more as I worried about things that may or may not be good to do while pregnant.

Hi, it's good that you took your leave early. Maybe it's your motherly instinct which helped you decide, to be able to protect your baby. I had my two daughters when I was still working and our house is too far from where I worked. Because I work in Mandaluyong, I have to take a jeep, an fx, an mrt and then walk up and down overpass to be able to go to work. I really felt pity for myself during those times especially when I it's time to go home when I had to fall in a very very long line of commuters who want to ride fx same with me. I don't know if you had to undergo that kind of stress but I was very relieved that I was able to survive those days.
