I'm 16 weeks pregnant and struggling. I have a stressful job in food retail as well as being a student - I do around 20 hours a week work, 10 hours uni and (should be doing) 30 hours studying. I've always been good at coping but recently am not doing so well. My job means getting up at 4.30am and working 6-11 four days a week where I am constantly on my feet running around. I'm then in uni 12-5 daily.
Basically I feel like I can't cope and it's all getting on top of me - just a few weeks off would make a massive difference.
I've only been at this job since August and my boss is a bit funny about people being off sick - even if they just take one day off she treats them really moodily and unfairly when they come back as we're permanently understaffed. Could she sack me after I come back from time off? Also is time off paid? I cant afford to not work and pay my student rent. What would I say to the doctor?
Sorry for the questions, thanks for any help
