WORKING DURING PREGNANCY

Women are more likely to work during pregnancy than they were 30 to 40 years ago. They also are returning to work more rapidly after having their first child; 64% are back at work within a year vs. 17% in the 60s. 66% of women who had their first child between 2001 and 2003 worked during their pregnancy, compared with 44% between 1961 and 1965, reports the U.S. Census Bureau.
