Dear Diane,
I agree with our colleagues as long as her role is relativley sedentary with
no heavy lifting (erecting couches etc) then the risk is no different to any
other pregnant woman.
Having said that, just a few queries-
What trimester is she in/how many weeks is she? Has she had previous full
term pregnancies? Is her BP well controlled? Has she has any 'spotting' or
'low' pain during the term of the pregnancy? Has she under gone IVF or been
advised by her OBGYN not to do housework etc? Are there any other factors to
take into consideration?
