Default What are the results of too much stress during pregnancy? - 12-22-2008, 09:13 AM

I'm about to buy my boss (AND some of my coworkers) a pair of Italian river shoes.I've got more work than I can handle, and I've been staying late almost every day. Of course, I can't get any help here, and we cannot afford for me to quit this job.I've tried talking to people about the stress load, but no one really cares. I'm 30 weeks pregnant, and it's been getting really bad for about the past 2 weeks.I also just found out that the job I work was a FOUR PERSON JOB before I got here. How's the stress going to affect my unborn daughter, and what can I do to minimize it? Talking to my boss just isn't working.

high blood pressure resulting in premature labour is the most extreme case. speak to your HR department (if you work in a big company) or try and find a friendly senior member of staff. Ensure you are taking proper breaks and leave on time. Your and the babys health are most important

Make sure you get some relaxation at home. For during work, just do what you can and leave the rest. Don't pressure yourself. Your baby will be ok health wise. I'm mom to 3 and worked during 2 of my pregnancies. I just let them know, this is what I can do right now, if that isn't good enough, I'm sorry.

I'm with Little C. Do what you need to for yourself and baby. Are you required to stay late or is it just your choice trying to get finished? Are you being paid for it and if so do you really need it? If your boss isn't helping talk with someone who will listen and help. I know that my workplace has an anonymous number you can call for counseling and advice maybe yours has something like that. Good luck.
