As the time into the workplace has become longer and longer, I have come into contact with different types of women, and I have also come into contact with many pregnant women, many of whom insist on going to work after pregnancy and return to the workplace immediately after maternity leave. And once many women find out that they are pregnant, they quit their jobs not long after, go home to raise the baby, and after the child is born, they will take care of the child directly at home, and some do not go out to work after the child goes to kindergarten.
Today, I am not trying to analyze who is superior or inferior to working mothers and housewives, but to express my thoughts on a phenomenon. Most of the pregnant mothers who quit their jobs after three months of pregnancy have the same characteristics, and the reality is very helpless
The pregnancy is more serious, and she is unable to go to work normally.
Pregnancy is a special period in a woman's life, accompanied by joy, but also often brings a series of physical discomforts, the so-called "pregnancy reversal". These reactions can include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, dizziness, etc., making many women feel overwhelmed in their daily tasks. In fact, a significant number of women choose to quit their jobs after about three months of pregnancy because of severe pregnancy. Most of their decisions were based on the following considerations:
Severe reactions during pregnancy have a direct impact on a woman's work efficiency. Constant nausea and vomiting are not only overwhelming for the body, but can also distract from work and lead to a decrease in productivity. This is even more pronounced for work that requires a high level of concentration. At the same time, many work environments are not suitable for pregnant women. For example, standing for long periods of time, carrying heavy loads, or working in exposure to harmful chemicals can pose a risk to the health of pregnant women and fetuses. In addition, excessive work stress can also lead to pregnancy complications, such as gestational hypertension.
Most importantly, a woman's body needs more rest and care during pregnancy. Severe pregnancy retraction can leave women exhausted at the end of the workday and not even have the energy to do daily self-care and family activities. In the long run, this not only affects the physical and mental health of pregnant women, but also is not conducive to the normal development of the fetus.
The ability to work is average, the income is limited, and I don't get much sense of accomplishment from my work.
Many women who struggle to quit their jobs after pregnancy are mostly of average ability, limited income, and do not get much sense of accomplishment from their work. In this way, once you know that you are pregnant, you will find a reason for yourself, anyway, your job is like that, and your income is like that, it is better to take this opportunity to rest for a while and then replan your future path.
A former colleague of mine worked as a basic clerk, graduated two years ago, and was pregnant in our company for more than a year, and was about to quit at that time. I also said that this job is not tiring, the company's welfare system is available, you haven't bought a house in this city now, and you don't have an extra income when you go to work. A colleague said: "I have been working for two years and have a meager income, so it's better to take advantage of pregnancy to rest, don't you still have a husband to raise?"
This phrase reflects a lot of family-like thoughts. For women who don't perform well at work and have limited incomes, they may not feel the difference between going to work and not doing much. For those women who have a certain sense of accomplishment and stable income at work, they are more likely to choose to stick to work, because they know how important their work is to their families and themselves, and once they resign, the position is easily replaced, and it is more difficult to return later.
