At last—a book just for the working mom-to-be! The Working Woman’s Pregnancy Book, by Marjorie Greenfield, MD, offers health advice for those pregnant on the job. It answers an array of questions such as:

How do I handle first-trimester queasiness on the job? Assemble an Early Pregnancy Relief Kit to keep in your desk: ginger ale or ginger tea; saltine crackers; toothbrush/toothpaste; washcloth for cooling your face or neck; sanitary pads for spotting; a small fan for hot spells. Is it okay to be on my feet most of the day? Jobs that require standing for more than three hours at a time may increase your risk of preterm birth, poor fetal growth and third-trimester high blood pressure. If you have to be on your feet a lot, try to take frequent breaks and, if you can, modify your job so you’re sitting as much as possible. Can I travel by plane? Traveling is safe for most women until early in the third trimester. (Check with your doctor about your specific case.) For a healthier trip, stand up and walk around every two to three hours (sitting for long periods ups your risk of blood clots) and drink lots of water. Also, in case of an emergency, carry a copy of your medical records and jot down the name, address and phone number of a hospital in the town you’re traveling to.
