Pregnant in Healthcare: diseases to avoid
This article from Nursing Center has some additional information on risks that pregnant healthcare workers are exposed to, with some suggestions for how to mitigate these risks. As a currently pregnant, currently recovering from very mild illness person, I can attest that it's pretty miserable being sick when you don't have many options for medication, are already tired, are at greater risk for dehydration, and are worried about the development of your child.Knowledge is power- hope this list helps you feel more empowered as a pregnant healthcare worker!
