1. In the first trimester, keep a few airline sickness bags in your desk. And your notebook. And one on you at all times. These can double as snack bags in the second and third trimesters.
2. Don’t worry about announcing your pregnancy; someone will make an insensitive comment about your body and do it for you.
3. Women with office doors, you just gained a nap room. Women without office doors, consider an under-desk sleeping set-up à la Seinfeld’s George Costanza.
4. Relocate your workstation closer to the washroom—this will save cumulative hours by the time you go on maternity leave.

6. When you’re nearing your due date and none of your clothing fits anymore, save your money and accessorize that one stretchy dress with something new each day.
