The potential impact of employment on pregnancy is an important issue that merits assessment, given the increasing numbers of women entering the labor force and continuing employment throughout pregnancy. A review of the literature evaluating the effects of employment on pregnancy is presented, including a brief historical and legal perspective, as well as employment statistics in the USA. There is emerging evidence from various studies suggesting that long working hours and prolonged standing may place a pregnancy at risk. Thus, physicians need to counsel their patients about these potential risks and provide recommendations for early modification of employment activities, in order to have a positive impact on pregnancy outcome.
鉴于越来越多的女性进入劳动力市场并在整个孕期持续工作，就业对怀孕的潜在影响是一个值得评估的重要问题。本文综述了评估就业对怀孕影响的文献，包括简要的历史和法律视角以及美国的就业统计数据。各种研究中不断出现的证据表明，长时间工作和久站可能会使怀孕面临风险。因此，医生需要就这些潜在风险向患者提供咨询，并为尽早调整工作活动提供建议，以便对怀孕结局产生积极影响。
