Read this if you're working while pregnant.
Working in a more physically demanding job can increase the likelihood that a pregnant woman’s newborn will be bigger than average, a new study suggests.
Performing moderate-intensity work while pregnant is also associated with a higher risk of gestational diabetes, or a type of diabetes diagnosed in a previously non-diabetic pregnant woman, the researchers found. Gestational diabetes can result in a number of health problems, including having an extra-large baby, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“There is some evidence suggesting an adverse effect of strenuous activities at work on sleep quality, although physical exercises in general are often recommended to pregnant women for health benefits. Sleep deprivation has been found to correlate with diabetes,” they added. The study authors analyzed New Jersey health-department data on live births in the state from 2014 to 2015, which included information on birth weight, the length of gestation, maternal demographic and health characteristics, and information on mothers’ occupation and work status prior to childbirth.
