    Unravel the critical ties between maternal shift work and the significant health challenges faced by mothers and their unborn children. As a certified nutritionist and veteran shift worker, I, Roger Sutherland, offer an eye-opening exploration into the hidden risks associated with rotating night or extended shifts during pregnancy. Backed by groundbreaking research, including a study released just two days before this recording, we expose how disrupted circadian rhythms during pregnancy can lead to severe complications such as hypertension, gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia. Discover why these aren't just abstract medical terms, but real concerns with life-altering consequences.

    Join this vital conversation as we uncover the cascading effects of shift work on both the expectant mother and the growing fetus. From chronic stress to preterm birth, these impacts can stretch into long-term cardiovascular issues for the child, shaping their future health. We discuss the role of workplaces in creating healthier environments for pregnant shift workers and present evidence-based strategies to safeguard their well-being. Whether you're a shift worker, an employer, or someone concerned about workplace health, this episode offers essential insights and actionable strategies to promote a safer, healthier future for mothers and their babies.
