Was just wondering if any of yous work 12 hour dayshifts/nightshifts? My OH is worried about me keeping on working them, but I was told as long as i felt ok doing it then it was fine, but he's a worrier, bless him.

I worked 12 hours shifts for the first 7 weeks, though I was exhausted and missed a few days due to being sick. It's probably fine as long as you are feeling well, try to make sure you still get lots of rest. Good luck.

I think it would depen on what work exactly your doing. I work at a hospital and all of the nurses/drs work 12 hour shifts until quite late in their pregnancies and are all fine.

As long as your body is used to it from before you were pregnant you will be fine. Listen to your body though, you will know.

Thanks. I would rather keep working them, as long as I can anyway, think it would be more of a shock to the system to go back to working normal 8-4 Monday to Friday!!! Apparantly nightshifts are good practise for when the baby comes anyway....

I'm working 7.30 - 6.15 and its bloody awful! hehehe but there is not much I can do about it unless I want a 16 hour job rather than a 30 - 39 hour job per week.

I'm struggling with my shifts basically cos there is so much manual handling. So i've taken 2 weeks annual leave to chill out then when i return i'm hoping to go onto night shift. The way i look at it is i'm not really sleeping anyway at night so i may as well get paid for it.
