Thanks for your comment! A difficult or demanding schedule is so hard on our health – man or woman. It’s not worth it in the long run. I’m always surprised at how hard doctors, nurses, and other health professionals work…yet they’re supposed to be role models.

I hope your work schedule hasn’t affected your ability to conceive a baby!

just read your post! my physical therapist and I were just discussing this yesterday about what percentage of nurses and other female workers such as flight attendants suffer from infertility and or staying pregnant. At my nursing job, I would start at 7:15am, stand at least 12 hrs a day,have 5 min to eat lunch, come home, prepare dinner and be passed out by 9:30pm (from pure exhaustion) only to wake up again at 12 or 1am bc I took a 2-3 hr nap. I then of course could not sleep again until much later in the morning and would have a hard time waking up at 6am….I am really glad you wrote a post about this topic. I agree if when the time comes to have a baby, you will have to change your lifestyle. I did change mine. (still working on the baby dust!) Thanks Laurie!
