This guide helps answer some of the questions you may have about continuing to work while pregnant or about returning to work after giving birth. In particular, it sets out what action you need to take and what action your employer should take to protect your health and safety and that of your child.

Contents:
What are the specific regulations that protect the health and safety of new mothers? Who do the regulations cover? Do I have to be pregnant before my employer takes action to protect my health and safety? What involvement do I have in this risk assessment process? Do I have to tell my employer that I am pregnant or that I am a new mother? What action should I expect my employer to take? What sort of risks might I be exposed to? I have pregnancy-related medical conditions (eg high blood pressure history of miscarriages etc). How does this affect the risk assessment my employer has to carry out? Does the risk assessment get repeated as my pregnancy progresses? Can I rearrange my hours to decrease my stress levels? Am I entitled to more frequent rest breaks? I have told my GP I think my health and are due to risks I have been exposed to at work. I am pregnant, so should she or he sign me off sick? Can I still work nights? What are my maternity rights? How much time can I take off to go antenatal appointments? When can I return to work? I am returning to work. Can I still breastfeed? Are there any specific workplace risks associated with breastfeeding? I'm still concerned that my employer has failed to take appropiate action. What should I do? Where can I get futher information? Further reading, Sources of help.
