Managing morning sickness at work

Are you struggling to keep morning sickness at bay while juggling the demands of your job? As a mom-to-be who's been there, I understand the challenges of managing morning sickness in the workplace. But fear not – with the right strategies and a few essential maternity wear pieces, you can conquer those queasy feelings and stay productive throughout the day.

1. Dress for Comfort and Style

When battling morning sickness, comfort is key. Invest in maternity wear that not only accommodates your growing bump but also keeps you feeling comfortable and confident at work. Opt for loose-fitting dresses or pants with stretchy waistbands that won't constrict your stomach. Our collection of maternity workwear is designed with your comfort in mind, so you can focus on conquering morning sickness without sacrificing style.

2. Stay Hydrated

Dehydration can worsen morning sickness symptoms, so it's essential to stay hydrated throughout the day. Keep a water bottle at your desk and sip on fluids regularly to help alleviate nausea. If plain water isn't appealing, try adding slices of lemon or ginger for a refreshing twist. And don't forget to accessorize with our stylish maternity water bottle holder – the perfect way to stay hydrated in style!

3. Snack Smart

Keep nausea at bay by snacking on small, frequent meals throughout the day. Choose bland, easy-to-digest foods like crackers, pretzels, or ginger snacks that can help settle your stomach.

4. Take Breaks When Needed

As a pregnant worker, you have the right to take breaks when needed, thanks to the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), which went into effect on June 27, 2023. Recently, on April 15, 2024, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued its final regulation to carry out the law, effective on June 18, 2024. This regulation ensures additional, longer, or more flexible breaks to drink water, eat, rest, or use the restroom – essential accommodations for managing morning sickness at work. Don't hesitate to prioritize your well-being; take advantage of these rights. Our maternity work dresses provide the comfort and flexibility you need during breaks, enabling you to navigate morning sickness with ease and grace.

5. Seek Support

Don't be afraid to seek support from your coworkers or supervisor if you're struggling with morning sickness at work. Let them know what you're going through and discuss any accommodations that may help alleviate your symptoms. And remember, you're not alone – millions of women experience morning sickness during pregnancy, and there's no shame in asking for help when you need it.
