Doing night shift during pregnancy

Hi. Is it okay to work night shift when pregnant? I'm currently 11 weeks. Forgot to ask doctor's advice about working night shifts.

It’s okay to do night shifts but it also totally depends on your body. I was doing morning and night shifts until about 15 weeks and requested for mornings because I couldn’t take it and was just exhausted. Gynae also advised for frequent and standardised hours of sleep. So, it’s totally up to you and how much your body can take it. If really cannot take it, don’t delay and just ask for permanent mornings. Need to take extra care of ourselves while pregnant! :)
