Working in hot conditions while pregnant

[1987Laura]

Hiya im currently 7 weeks pregnant with my first baby, i started a new job this week as a home carer. One of my client's homes is far too hot. I have to wash dry and dress her twice a day and she is very aekward so this takes over an hour and a half each time. i end up soaking with sweat, feel woozy and incredibly thirsty. Is this harmful for me and my baby? I actually cant handle the heat in her house and she won't let me open a window or turn down the heating

I'd say it has the potential to be. You need to get your employer to do a risk assessment, they have a responsibility to protect you. Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Thank you! It is honestly unbearable in her house
