Pregnant women working from serviced offices in Northampton may want to ensure they take regular breaks.
This is following the advice of Judy Ledger, chief executive of charity Baby Lifeline, who said this will make them feel "so much better".
She stated it is widely believed that stress felt by an expectant woman can affect the child she is carrying, although it is currently unknown if it can change the infant's personality.
Recent research undertaken by Germany's University of Konstanz indicated a link between the stresses felt by pregnant women and their children and also suggested a possible behavioural effect in the longer-term.
Therefore, female employees must "find the balance" between their career and other issues in their life, Ms Ledger argued.
She recommended that pregnant women use their lunch breaks and other occasions to relax and take time out, leaving them "far more refreshed".
"Exercise [and] eat the right food," the expert concluded.
