well im p**t off!!

this may sound very selfish but i dont mean it to be, ive been signed off work now for 10 days with high blood pressure, flashes in my eyes, head feels like its trapped in a vice and general fatigue (i swear i could sleep on a washing line if i tried) ive been back to the docs and she said i may be anemic so i went to hospital for a full blood count today.
She signed me off again today for another two weeks saying im far too "down" and tired to work and as my job is so stressful she doesnt want my bp going any higher...this sounds all well and good (the time off bit) my friends are all saying...BLISS a few weeks off, enjoy, but im still stressing, my oh has been told that he will have no job in about 8 weeks and im on ssp (at£75 a week im panicking)...heres the selfish bit, I found my self asking the doctor if she would sign me back on to work as i didnt think i could cope money wise, its tight as it is and with all this worry re oh job etc im just finding myself stressing! Oh was good and said i cant worry and im not going back to work until doc says its safe as its the babies health and we will just have to cope but my head is swimming with different worries....
The other problem is that i have only been in my new job since oct (the first day of my last period) and i feel like a real let down, what if they get funny and sack me, what would i do re money then?? This is such a nightmare its meant to be the most beautiful and happy time of my life but its just tinged and full of worries at the moment...
BEING HONEST do you think im over reacting??
sorry for rambling on, weve all got our own worries and i should be putting things into perspective as there are so many other people in a worse situations than me so i suppose im feeling sorryfor myself...

again sorry for the rant and roll on the next 18 weeks!!!

awww dont think your over reacting, we all have things we're stressing over i myself worry about money etc
eventually you'll work it out hun.
try not to get too stressed (i know you cant help it lol) x

I dont think you are overreacting or feeling sorry for yourself, money worries are always stressful. Your OH is right, having the time off to ensure you and baby are healthy must be your priority. I'm sure it will all work out ok in the end, your work cant sack you for being off for a pregnancy related illness, and rather than being cross with you, maybe they are worried about you too?

Your not overracting at all. Money is always a big worry issue. I too worry about money. We have had a bad winter and my husbands job has suffered tremendously because of it so they cut everyone's hours (instead of laying off people). It seems to be getting better, but you also never know either. Your job should not discriminate against you since you are pregnant. They shouldn't be able to let you go because you get put on rest. All you need to worry about is getting rest and taking care of yourself and that little one your carrying. I'm sure you and OH will figure something out. Try not to worry and cause yourself more stress (easier said than done, I know). Sending lots of your way.
