Hi,
I was wondering if anyone else is a teacher on here? I am 11 weeks pregnant and have been quite emotional - or more specifically, easily annoyed and angered throughout my pregnancy. I have been trying very hard to surpress these emotions at work (secondary school) but did have a real outburst when a student misbehaved. I really let rip which I know is counterproductive and unprofessional. I found myself getting really wound up and not holding back. This resulted in shouting and really arguing with a student to the point where I made it so much worse. I know this is bad practice and it is unlike my normal approach. So I was wondering if anyone else felt like this and if you have had similar experiences/outbursts? Will I stop being so agitated at some point? Everything and everyone is winding me up at the moment and it's making me really upset. I know this sounds really self centred but I genuinely am finding it hard to control my emotions. I felt horrid after my aggressive confrontation with the student (the student was absolutely horrible and unteachable at the time but no excuse). Have pregnancy emotions made work life more difficult?
