Night Shift?

Anybody work nights? I just want to know if my baby's schedule will be a little off. My husband is going to work from 2pm-10pm and I'll be working from 10pm-6am.

I worked nights all through my pregnancy and my baby has a normal sleep schedule. It took a few days for her to get days and nights right but that's pretty normal for newborns

Also heard that they sleep like 80% of the time or something when it comes closer to time.

Awh haha that's cute. I don't feel him kicking as much, I've been told that late in the pregnancy they run out of room to kick as much. So that could be another thing, I don't know how far you are. I'm 38 weeks and he has been measuring two weeks ahead from the beginning x.x

Lol I hope so! I was wondering why I couldn't feel her move while I'd be walking around..I just thought I wasn't paying much attention to her. And I felt a little bad  ^.^

Baby usually sleeps more while you are awake because your movement rocks them to sleep. So maybe you're giving your baby a normal sleep schedule?:D
