Is anyone else working night shifts pregnant?

[weebairn]

I am finding them really tough - 18 weeks now - feel sick and hungry/dizzy by the end, mini-bump hard and heavy

Last time I was pregnant I asked to come off night shifts around this time and they were really arsey with me and claimed most people worked till much later on nights (to clarify, I do a set of nights every month or so, I normally work daytime shifts, 8 hour and 12 hour ones). I still feel really low and have shit self esteem about this 18 months later…

How are other people managing? I could never sleep in the day at the best of times...

"How are other people managing? I could never sleep in the day at the best of times..."

No i can't either but no worse now than normal........

I think the message is that everyone is different - some people find it far harder than others. I suspect different pregnancies are different, too, though perhaps if you have had a child before it is some kind of guide.

I have done my risk assessment today ,when I explained my situation about difficulty at night shift, she said:this is not risk assessment matter and risk assessment has got different topic which is not included this one and she can't do any thing about it.i feel sad,I know there is a available position on day which I did work temporary but I don't know what else I can do, when my manager not agree.
