just wanna quit

nilly5

Today at work I felt like my boss was eyeing me like a hawk. I always try to do my job to the best of my ability, and even being pregnant with having to rest a little more then normal, I still get my work done.

Today I felt like he was judging me because it's 80 degrees in our building with no moving air & I'm sitting down because I'm sweating & getting light headed. I guess he just doesn't understand why I'm sitting down. But I get overheated easily anyway and being pregnant makes it worse. He just thinks I'm making excuses NOT to work & I'm not. I would just rather not pass out in front of our residents.

I would LOVE to just up and quit, but I need the money...ugh...maybe I'm just being a baby, but I try to suck it up while I'm at work. It's just hard to suck it up when my ears are hollowing & I'm starting to shake from getting overheated.

little vent, over

Feeling this way too- what do you do?

I am a Peds Nurse in a busy practice and expected to be on my feet ALL day. I have always had more of a patient/provider load than most of the other nurses, because I can handle it and don't complain- until now. I don't know how my boss thinks I can continue at an increased load at 30 weeks pregnant... but I won't keep my mouth shut for long!

Hope it gets better for you .

I feel like quiting today too! I am not on my feet I actually sit on my rump all day in front of a computer. But its a call center and today I was feeling a bit stressed out... either way... made me want to just go home!

Hope the rest of your day goes better!

I so wish that I didn't have to go back, or at least full-time, after LO.

Completely agree.  I do appreciate my sit-down desk job but my back still hurts and I'd much rather be at home doing pretty much anything else!  I am going to stick it out though for the money and the nice maternity leave they offer.  In my opinion pregnant women should be banned from working from about week 15 until the baby is 6 months old!!

I felt this way all summer and then, last month, to my surprise, I was laid off.  It was the best thing that's ever happened.  Such a blessing.  I don't know what I would recommend to you because I was far too scared to do anything about my situation but then something unexpected happened and I accepted it as a huge blessing.  I tried for a week to get a new job but decided that without that money-for a few months, we're really not going to be hurting all that badly!  I'm taking this time to focus on my health and our baby and preparation!  It's lovely!!

I wish you something unexpected that takes the pressure down several notches for all of you.  I wish you a new-found peace and strength to get through the tough days.
