Your 5-point de-stress plan

• Take your breaks. Never eat at your desk, instead use your lunch hour to get up so you can physically and mentally have a break from your work.
• Stretch your legs. Gentle exercise is a great way to take time out and clear your head. A walk around the block will do wonders for your productivity at work.
• Clock watch. Now is not the time to be working over your contracted hours. Try to leave on time.
• Use your holiday wisely. Think about any annual leave you have left to use. Could you take one day off a week towards the end of your pregnancy before you go on maternity leave?
• Keep it real. Don’t be afraid to say if you find your job has become too demanding now you’re pregnant.
