   WriterInTheRough replied to LittleCandles's topic in LPN/LVN

   I think you mean unbiased. And no, of course I'm not unbiased, just like you having had healthy pregnancies are not unbiased. But please point out in my post history where, despite my own admitted bias, I have told the OP to do anything but objecti...

2. Pregnancy and 3rd shifts

   WriterInTheRough replied to LittleCandles's topic in LPN/LVN

   I read what she said. I'm blown away that this site of professionals is consistently steering the OP away from looking at the evidence for herself. If you don't like what I cited, fine. If you think it's too old, take it up with the researchers. ...

   WriterInTheRough replied to LittleCandles's topic in LPN/LVN

   Do a PubMed or Google Scholar search for "pregnancy" and "night shift". There's quite a bit of evidence out that that links night shift work to late pregnancy loss and stillbirth. Personally, I miscarried shortly after transitioning to days just bef...
