How do you work CS jobs while pregnant?

So I have worked Customer Service jobs for 5 years. Usually I can handle people yelling at me, but lately I have been an emotional train wreck. I get really rude calls everyday. Somedays these people put me into tears they are so mean. Is anyone else working a CS job too? How do you deal with this? It is weird to cry at work.. but they all know I am pregnant.

    I feel you on this one.  I'm not a CS worker, but a counselor.  When I get emotional I try to repeat to myself " This is not your fault.  You are just doing your job.  Take a deep breath. Your pregnant and emotional. "  Positive thoughts normally work!!  Not always tho.  Ya'll get thru it!!

     Sometimes I just want to scream at them. "You're a bad person. Why would you yell at a pregnant woman!" Haha... luckily I have a good office environment I can vent to.

    I worked CS during my 1st pg, and don't exactly recall how I dealt with the emotions, but I do remember one instance where I got cussed out over the phone and when I hung up, I just lost it. Luckily, my boss was very sympathetic and let me go home for the day. It took me well over 2 days to get over it, which is silly, I know.

    But I love the PP advice on staying positive and remembering it's the hormones that are causing most of the emotions. Good luck!

    I'm working a CS job... it's HARD.  Between stupid coworkers and stupid clients, I feel like crying or screaming or pulling my hair out every day.  I just keep breathing, and if I need to, run to the bathroom and cry.  It's been really difficult, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do, and that's what I have to keep telling myself...

    I work in what I guess would be considered a CS job. For the past two days, I have wanted to strangle people over the phone. I don't get teary-eyed until I'm at home though.

     Glad I'm not the only one who is riding an emotional roller coaster! No one around me seems to understand.
