Q:I'm 15 weeks pregnant and work lots of night shifts.Are there any risks?
A:Most employers carry out a workplace assessment for pregnant employees.They must do whatever is reasonable to prevent risks and offer you suitable alternative work.
A Danish study showed that mums-to-be who regularly work nights have an increased risk of late miscarriage or stillbirth.Other studies show they slightly increase the risk of a low birth-weight baby.So,I feel it's advisable you change to day shifts for the rest of your pregnancy.
