[Answered]: E.H

E.H. is a 34-year-old who is 3 months pregnant with her second child. She has a 2-year-old son at home. She tells you this pregnancy has not “been fun” because it is so different from her first pregnancy. She has had nausea, fatigue, and frequent urination for the last 3 months. She wants to quit her job as a short-order cook so she can feel better, but her partner wont let her “even consider this” as they need the money. The only thing she does all week to feel “like her old self” or to make the pregnancy “bearable” is to job around the neighborhood park two times a day. 1) E.H. wants to quit work so she feels better. Would you recommend she do this? 2) E.H. needs to use a restroom often at work because she has the symptom of frequent urination. This is difficult, however, because this involves a long walk and time away from cooking. She asks if drinking less fluid will help relieve this symptom. How would you advise her? 3) E.H. has two breaks during the day during which she jogs-the only activity that is making her pregnancy “bearable.” Would you encourage her to continue doing this for the remainder of her pregnancy?
