Nurses/medical professionals: did you tell your co-workers you were pregnant immediately? To ensure you didn’t deal with infectious patients or push wheelchairs, etc

Question

Answer

Yes definitely. Some manual handling u cant do either and it’s only so long u can say U’ve got a bad back lol! I didn’t chance it ud never forgive urself if you did catch something or pull urself in an awkward way x

Answer

You can still push wheelchairs. Now I wouldn’t take anyone with droplet, contact, or chemo precautions. You can handle neutropenic precaution patients though.

Answer

You can still push wheelchairs and work with infectious patients while pregnant. You should be using proper protocol when doing those things anyway. If you require modified work because of a pregnancy complication you will need documentation from your doctor. The only things you should avoid are exposures to certain drugs and you still don’t have to disclose, you can say something like I’m trying to conceive and can’t be exposed to said drug.
