When youre pregnant, everyday activities take on an extra layer of difficulty.
You cant sleep in a comfortable position or go from sitting to standing with anything resembling grace.
Workingwhether youre on your feet all day or trapped at a desk for eight straight hourscan be trying.
And commuting to and from work?
Is probably no fun either.
But there are a few things you might do to make commuting while pregnant a little less trying.
Always carry snacks
Snacks are important for a couple of reasons when youre pregnant.
Bring a book or add a few new games to your phone to pass the time.
For example, this may be a good time tomemorize cool and useless facts.
If ever you should get a seat, its now.
Theyre not going to post it on Facebook for your co-workers to discover.
And you telling them youre pregnant is a better option than vomiting all over their lap.
Well now theyre going to help you deal with all the unpleasantness around you.
Keep these items on hand at all times:
A scarf.
A lightweight silky scarf in the summer or a regular winter scarf during the cold months.
Before it kept you stylish/warm; now it goes over the nose to block out smells.
So you’re able to close your eyes if you get dizzy/nauseated without drawing extra attention to yourself.
Okay, not really an accessory, per se, unless you get acute one.
Hopefully youre never going to actually need this, but better to be prepared.
