Wwyd re: quitting my job???

Im seriously contemplating quitting my part-time job. Im pg with my 3rd child--due in june. I work in critical care at a community hospital in the cath lab. I currently work 3 days/8hrs. My job also involves on-call during the week and on weekends. I have pretty much had it with working all together. I have been really sick this pg, and am getting killed with working late hours, and call- ins for emergencies at all hrs. The majority of my co-workers have been pretty cool with helping me push and pull at work. A few are so nasty towards me, that I just want to quit. They are older and their kids are grown, so they dont get the fact, that i spend half the day fighting off puking! You would think they birthed their kids and returned to work the next day! My dh and I have saved alot of money, that I could take a yr. Off from work, Or just do per-diem hrs. Im not a wimpy person at all. I never call out, and work hard. I just think that I am at my breaking point. i have a 2 yr old and a 21 mos. Old at home, that need me. Im constantly exhausted and miserable. I feel like im not enjoying these kids, or the pg. Work has me stressed! I guess what im wondering, is if I should just quit-- take it easy for the next few mos., and enjoy the kids. Or suck it up, and continue being miserable. Chances are, that I wont be returning to the cath lab after the baby comes. Sorry for the looong post. Just needed to vent!

If you can afford to take the time off, I would.

If you can afford it and think it would make your life better, I would do it.  It really is a short time.  They will all be in school 30+ hours a week in 4 years.

If you don't think you'd be returning anyway, I don't see why it wouldn't be a good idea to just leave now.  You're miserable, you aren't feeling well, you have your hands full with two young kids, and you work with some very insensitive people.  I woruld cut yourself some slack.
