Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion both physical and mental stress are not advisable in pregnancy as they cause stress hormones to increase in body which might affect the fetus.So mostly try to avoid stress.Take rest upto 8 hours a day.If its inevitable decrease the working time.Enjoy your work.Meditation or yoga during pregnancy might give relief.
