During pregnancy, certain activities can pose additional risks, for example due to exposure to infectious diseases, hazardous substances, or physical strain. It is therefore important to discuss what adjustments need to be made in the workplace to protect the health of both mother and child. Always discuss your situation with your manager and/or company doctor so that you can work together to find appropriate measures.
