Night shift while pregnant?

Question

Do any of you work night shift? Or did you while you were pregnant? I got hired in July to a new position at one of the hospitals near me, and got hired on nights. I'm 21 weeks pregnant, exhausted all the time and it's really hard to manage! Any advice on how to survive the nights that I work?

Answer

I do . 13 hour nights . I'm 35 weeks

Answer

Me! I work 3pm-3am 6-7 days a week. It sucks. I'm 38 weeks pregnant and tomorrow is my last day, thank god. 
Sleep when you can, and don't be afraid to have a cup of coffee now and again. I hate nights, but I've been doing it for almost 3 years. You get used to it, but you may never like it. I sure don't.

Answer

I'm only 4 weeks 3 days pregnant but I've worked 6pm-6am at a local hospital for the past year and a half almost. It's gotten harder for sure. So I can't imagine being 21 weeks pregnant and doing it, whew! But I'm going to have to, I have a coworker that's almost 30 weeks pregnant and does it. So it can be done, it's just no walk in the park unfortunately. 😣
