Work Stress and Pregnancy

Via The Week, from an article by Clare Masters in Australia's The Daily Telegraph:

A study of more than 7000 women found expectant mothers who work more than 32 hours in a stressful work environment deliver lower birthweight babies and are more vulnerable to the high-blood pressure pregnancy condition pre-eclampsia. Dutch social health professor Gouke Bonsel advises women to work no more than three days a week if their job causes unusual amounts of stress.
