I dunno whats wrong with me, i just feel so low and down at the moment.

I should feel so happy and positive to have such an amazing blessing, and dont get me wrong, i am excited, but im worried as we all get, about the what if's

I hate my job so much, i feel so threated in it, i work with challenging behaviour and feel i get no support, my risk assessment although is ok, is not brilliant, and managment are rubbish. I want to leave so much, but know we wont be able to afford life if i didnt work aswel, and then i wouldn't get full maternity pay if i went elsewhere.

Why do i feel so low.

Hormones probably. If your job is stressing/depressing you that's bad for the baby and the doctor would probably sign you off?

Im going to book a visit with him, i just had 3 days off work, due to illness, so hoping he can sign me off.

It's the hormones taking control...
And the whole overwhelming feeling of becoming a mom.

You hang in there,as you said you are very lucky and there won't be a happier woman than you when you hold your baby in 9 months...

Yes hon, I've had times when I feel low, when I should be thrilled. It's just our hormones kicking in. Work isn't helping either, so a break might help. Careful not to take time off, then sit and wallow though, or things will feel worse than they are and it will be really hard to go back. Hope you feel better soon x x x

Homrones hun , first trimester is the worse for them. I got low alot, also with your work not being a happy enviroment at the moment your bound to let it get to you . Chin up it WILL get better

Try to look at it in a positive way - now your pregnant the end of your job is in sight.

Thanks all for the words of support. I guess it was me being silly again. Feel happier today, although work still gets me down, the end is in sight!

Sounds like hormons, you should have seen me earlier had a really good sob because I felt lonely.

I love my Job, and was finally getting somewhere with it, but now there are more important things happening... and as I live a long way from my OH it looks like I'm going to have to move close to him when I go on my maturnity (because I want us all to be together) and thats going to mean giving up my job.

Oppps, sorry me telling you my problems doesn't help you does it?

My advice would be to stick it out (if the risk asessent wasn't good enough challenge it, and don't do too much) and if you have to work after your maturnity leave ends, then you can concentrate on finding somewhere more rewarding.

Awww thanks, no i like listening to what others say, and a problem shared is a problem halfed or something like that!
