Is it true that night shift work during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage?
Yes. A 2019 systematic review and meta-analysis of 62 observational studies found fixed night shift work during pregnancy was associated with increased odds of miscarriage (OR 1.23), and a 2021 review reports a dose-response pattern between number of night shifts and miscarriage risk. The CDC and a Scandinavian Journal of Work editorial also note a possible or moderately increased miscarriage risk from night work, though with hedged or limited evidence.
