Finding work tough

[tinytoes]

Anyone else finding the every day stresses at work a real pain?
I'm feeling very emotional and not handling pressure very well. I have the urge to snap at people or to cry regularly! (I manage not to!)
People at work are annoying me and quite simply all the petty office stresses seem so unnecessary these days.

..these blasted hormones! I'm not a few weeks in..how will I cope 7 months down the line?

I agree. I haven't got the patience for pettiness and have become really snappy (not only in work but with everyday situations)

It will get better, i was like this. People would get on my nerves for absolutley no reason and id be so snappy with oh. Itll probs ease off in a few weeks then it might come back towards end of your pregnancy!!!

I still get snappy sometimes but I don't cry as much as I did at first! You'll learn to deal with it eventually and if you can't let it out at work let it out somewhere. Building it up just makes it worse when you eventually can't hold it in anymore lol

haha i know how your feeling, its part of my job to keep the office up on supplies, including food, drinks etc and doesn't usually bother me getting out and about, but lately i've been like (in my head) "you go to bloody shop"! and people getting the evils. LOL Not really there fault either as i haven't told them yet!

It was a pain for me!! I hated waking up early because I dont sleep quite early though I am starting to get used to sleep an hour or 2 than what I used to. I wake up for work at 6:15am bec it takes me almost 25min to reach work

My boss was a pain. I had an issue with him, and though he knew I got pregnant again he was still pressuring me and giving me tasks and stuff. I talked to one of the other managers I report to and asked for unpaid leave until I am in the safe zone, and he agreed. He convinced my mean boss to give it to me and here I am, I started taking it from today. I am at home chatting, reading stuff, gossiping, eating better and relaxing when I need to!!

At work I just couldnt relax when I wanted to and even lunch couldnt take it on time bec of the pressure. I work from 7:30am until 3:30pm and couldnt take lunch but only when I reach home at 4:00pm which I thought it's not healthy!!!

Now everything changed! and I love it! It is gona be a vacation for me as well

I keep pushing my OH to go for promotion, so i can sit on my backside at home LOL

 

[Vickie]

I'm the same way, unfortunately I started a new job the day I found out I was pregnant!! It's been stressful.

Ive been the same. Its so hard juggling feeling crappy with working hard and meeting deadlines when all you want to do is sit at home with a hot water bottle and a blanket. Everone keeps saying 'Go home if you dont feel well' but I just think 'well, I feel like this everyday, and Ive got stuff to do, so unless you're going to do it for me, I havent got much choice buit stay here, have I?'

And being on hold seems to piss me off twenty times more than it ever did before!

My OH has been getting it pretty bad as well. I feel so sorry for him.

Aww its hard balancing work and pregnancy. I was getting really sick before I found out I was pregnant, so I had called into work a couple times already in the weeks before I found out. My work was short a couple of people, and had new people in training, but I work for a bank, and training is months long. After I found out I was pregnant, I tried working for a bit, since at least I knew I wasn't dying of some crazy flu or something, but it just got worse. I threw up at work a lot. I would run in the back and throw up in a trash can. Once I told my boss I had to run to the restroom, and I'm running to it, and he stops me and asks, well how long are you going to be? We're busy. I told him I can wait if he would like me to throw up on the next person who sat at my desk! My job is also very stressful, because I do sales for the bank, and my doctor ended up taking me off work. I get paid leave, which is not even half of my salary, but luckily DH makes good money too. If you cant deal with work, let your doctor know. You really shouldn't have to be miserable, when this is supposed to be one of the happiest times of your life! Good luck hun.

I shouted at my boss today.

Then I went to the toilet and cried, so he wouldnt see how upset I was.

Its not the best idea, but it certainly made me feel better

Its quite good being pregnant actually, he's probably just put it down to hormones.

I'm trying to not tell my bosses until i'm atleast 12 weeks, so they prob just think i'm being rude all the time!!!!!

 

[Serene123]

They might guess soon lol!

 

[Linzi]

I told mine straight away. I would have just worried constantly because Ive only been here 4 or 5 months.

But its good though because it means that I can be moody and nasty and not always looking my best and people dont mind

[tinytoes]

make sense. Unfortunately there's beena bit of a shke up at my work lately and we're not sure if I'll be changing jobs or what...which is a big shame and an unneeded stress. I dont want to tell them i'm pregnant just in case it affects anything..

 

[Linzi]

Yeah definately, I understand Everyone is in different circumstances.
