yes just as long as she's sitting and not standing she can work just like any other person
Answeror unless her doctor tells her otherwise Answeralso make sure that your not doing any heavy lifting or over exerting yourselfI use to believe the same thing but the opposite is true.
It is NOT okay to work the graveyard shift during pregnancy, but being on your feet and lifting heavy items was okay according to a study.
Working Night Shift, but Not Heavy Lifting, Is Risk Factor for Preterm Birth By Katrina Woznicki,

HOUSTON, Dec. 8 - Pregnant women who work the graveyard shift face a significantly higher risk of preterm delivery, yet long hours, standing all day, and heavy lifting were not risk factors, investigators here reported.
Working between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. during the first trimester raised the risk by at least 50% (relative risk 1.5, 95% confidence interval 1.0-2.0), according to Lisa A. Pompeii, Ph.D., of the University of Texas School of Public Health here.
The risk persisted into the second trimester (RR 1.6, 95% CI 1.0-2.3), the study of 1,908 pregnant women found, Dr. Pompeii and colleagues reported in the December issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology. And working at night during weeks 28 to 31 of pregnancy was associated with a two-fold increased risk for preterm birth (odds ratio, 1.8, 95% CI 0.8-3.9).
Surprisingly, there were no significant associations between preterm delivery and standing on the job for at least 30 hours a week or performing repeated heavy lifting, compared with women who stood six to 15 hours every week or those who did not lift, respectively. These activities were also not associated with any increased or decreased risk in small-for-gestational-age births.
Interestingly, women who worked at least 46 hours per week during the first trimester showed a 40% risk reduction (RR 0.6, 95% CI 0.4-0.9), compared with women who worked 35 to 45 hours, regardless of the period of work exposure during their pregnancy.
These findings suggest several possibilities, wrote Dr. Pompeii and colleagues. First, night-shift work may interfere with the circadian rhythm and ultimately affect hormone levels, they speculated.
Secondly, women who worked longer hours also tended to have more education, were older, and were married. "An extended work week has been associated with higher monetary income among U.S. workers, which is reflected in our study findings," they wrote. People from higher socioeconomic status tend to have better health outcomes.
The findings were based on data from the Pregnancy, Infection, and Nutrition study, a prospective cohort study that included 1,908 pregnant women who were recruited during prenatal visits that occurred from January 1995 to April 2000. The women were at 24 and 29 weeks gestation at the time of recruitment. Interviews were conducted both by telephone and then nested case-control participants, a total of 444 women, were interviewed in-person after delivery.
The participants were asked about their occupation, work schedules, and job duties. The women were also asked about smoking, vaginal bleeding, and whether they vigorous leisure activities, such as exercise, during the first and second trimesters.
Preterm birth was defined as delivery before 37 weeks gestation. Fetal growth restriction was defined as infants whose birth weight fell below the 10th percentile.
Contrary to earlier beliefs, standing on the job all day and heavy lifting did not affect the risk for preterm delivery or reduced gestational size. It is possible, the authors said, that women who perform these kinds of jobs are already physically fit.
However, night-shift work remained a significant risk factor although the reasons weren't entirely clear.
The investigators said it is possible that working the graveyard shift may affect "nocturnal surges in uterine activity." Another theory is that the secretion of melatonin, involved in sleep cycles, may be suppressed in nighttime workers, which may also affect uterine activity.
The researchers also pointed out that few women in this study worked the night shift during their third trimester; 166 women reported night-shift work during their first trimester compared with 126 women in their second trimester and only 26 women in their final trimester. So the findings, they said, should be interpreted with caution.

If you are getting enough sleep, it shouldn't matter at all.
They work the graveyard shift.
The episode in which Spongebob and Squidward work the night shift is called "Graveyard Shift."
The people who work from 11 PM or Midnight until 6 or 8 AM. Also called the graveyard shift.
Answer it honestly. If you are willing to work the night shift, answer yes. If you are not willing, answer no. Of course, if you prefer to work the night shift, be sure to tell the interviewer that. If you have good reasons for not wanting to work the night shift, tell the interviewer the reasons.
The second shift is a woman's "shift" of work at home, consisting of housework. (The "first shift" being their job.)
no, but undertakers do (so I guess yes) If they work in a cemetery, then technically, ALL shifts are graveyard shifts. Duh! (Note: "The graveyard shift" started a long time ago when you couldn't be sure somebody was dead. They put a string in the coffin and a bell at the top so that if the "dead" man wakes up he can pull the string. At night there is a man patrolling the cemetery to see if any bells will ring. This is called the graveyard shift. That is where the term came from.)

yes..i know it's some kind of weird but i do prefer to work on a graveyard shift..why? bcoz i am used to staying up late at night..and i find it more comfortable than working at day time..i hate the heat of the sun..you know..it makes us uneasy!
any woman can dye her hair if it is short. a pregnant woman might have a hard time since she can't bend over and the chemicals are actually not good for you when you are pregnant. hope this helps!
If you want to work out while pregnant, you should ask your doctor what exercises are right for you.
Cemetery Worker:Burial Specialist, Overseer of the Dead, Epitaph WriterA lot of folks wonder how to work at the graveyard, because it's not as easily accessed from the map as other part time jobs. To get a job, have your Sim head to the graveyard and click the mausoleum itself. From there, they can take a job from 6PM to 9PM with Wednesdays and Thursdays off for $33, $55 and $88.Spa Jobs:
