Night shift and prego!

Hello ladies. I'm new to the forum and 5 weeks pregnant with my first at age 37. I had a miscarriage in September 2012 so I'm a bit wounded this time around.  I was wondering if anyone works night shift and how that is working for you. I'm a nurse and just about to start a new job with a shift of 7pm to 7am. I'm hoping I can still have a healthy pregnancy with those hours. Thanks!

    First of all, congrats!  I hope everything goes well for a happy and healthy pregnancy.  I have met a lot of nurses who survived those 12 hour shifts while pregnant.  Good luck!
