- Circadian rhythms can be changed by women working at night
New Delhi (EMS). Do you know that working in the night shift during pregnancy is good for the health of the baby and the mother? According to the study, it is our time to sleep at night and working in this time can change the circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythms are physical, mental and behavioral changes that follow a 24-hour cycle.
The circadian rhythm controls the menstrual cycle and pregnancy hormones. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that working many hours or working the night shift can lead to menstrual disorders, miscarriage and preterm birth. Women working in the night shift often do not get enough sleep due to which their menstrual cycle also gets affected. Working in the night shift can lead to anxiety attacks and stress in the pregnant woman. It can affect the unborn baby and increase the risk of preterm delivery. Women who work long hours, especially in the night shift, are at risk of premature delivery. In some cases it may even lead to miscarriage. If you cannot leave the night shift job during pregnancy, then you can reduce the risks by taking care of the following things – like avoid any kind of stress in the office as it can harm the baby. Manage your work in such a way that there is no stress. Do not stand for a long time and do not stay in a position in which you do not feel comfortable. During pregnancy, the eyes can see blurred, so working on a laptop and computer for a long time can increase the stress on the eyes further.
Avoid bright or very dim light to protect the eyes from stress. Your sitting posture should be comfortable, this puts less pressure on the baby. According to experts, working awake all night instead of the day has a different effect on the body and if you work in night shift, then it is very important for you to know whether you can follow this job timing in pregnancy or not. .
