As long as you are getting enough sleep at some point during the day, you should be fine. I am also a manager working 9 hour shifts usually from 3 pm to 12 am. I also have an internship that finishes at the end of April, but I'm there 9.5 hours a day twice a week (8:30 am to 6 pm). Where your schedule is generally consistent and your body is likely used it it, you should be fine.
ok thank you, my friend told me to switch up my schedule and it scared me but i have a good sleep schedule along with it. so i think im fine. baby looks healthy
You can also ask your doctor if you're worried about it 😊
