I think knowing your own body is the most important thing.

Firstly I gotta say.....58 and 4 months pregnant....you are brave!

Secondly...only 4 months? You not trying to pull the wool over our eyes? You look a lot further along than 4 months (Unless you are carrying triplets or more).

Ok, with regards to the topic at hand, as a man with no personal experience with carrying a child, but with a decent education regarding the intricacies of the human body, I believe that once a pregnant lady becomes quite pronounced in the belly, they need to start thinking about taking it a little easier. Not so much for the safety of the baby, because they are really well protected in there, but more aimed at the angle of back care.

Once a pregnancy has developed enough to really load up on the back pressure, I believe it is then when a lady should consider slowing down a bit more. Once your back starts complaining about the extra pressure, it is time to take it easier. In saying this, I'm not talking about stopping doing everything, I'm referring more to taking it easier, maybe doing what you love for slightly shorter periods than before.

It is really a persons own individual feelings that determine when a person should take it easy, with the exception being ladies working in dangerous, toxic or high risk jobs. Perhaps settling into a more relaxed routine might be warranted then.

As long as a person is being sensible, and working within their capabilities and the pregnancy is not preventing them from doing their job properly, I can see no reason why a lady should have to leave work, or stop doing the things they routinely do. Be sensible and simple do everything within your physical limits and you should be fine...

sorry where is the advice? great title for an advice but your piece written offers none, maybe you could add to it as to how you can relax and when.

You look rather large for someone who is only 4 months pregnant were you carrying more than 1 baby or have any fluid related problems?

Good title' it is a good statement it itself, however your article offers no advice about how to determine when to work & when to relax.

 I think if this was expanded on a little it could be good. Atm its not really advice.

On the other hand, when my mum was pregnant she worked right up till I was born which was 2 weeks late lol. Tho my dad worked at the same place, and she was just counting money but its your own choise when you stop working. I had to stop working streight up with my 1st cause I could hardly get out of bed.
