Hiya, first post in this subject. I'm 29 weeks pregnant and for the last few weeks have started feeling really low. I work in sainsburys and it's starting to really get too much, I think I'm too paranoid about covid, especially where I'm in tier 4 with the new strain going around. It's all well and good them just putting me behind the tills but I'm still dealing with money, touching people's bags and having to walk through the shop floor to get to the back of the store for argos collections.
No manager seems to really have concerns and I've had my risk assessments but haven't heard anything about a covid risk assessment. The only time I actually feel okay within myself is when I'm at home because I know I'm safe there. I've been doing nothing but cry for the last few weeks because I get so stressed and worried about being at work.
I've thought about speaking to my GP and getting myself signed off for a couple weeks so I can give myself a break but I know I'll only get sick pay and I had some time off at the start of the year due to being pregnant and covid first coming around so not sure how much sick pay I'm entitled too now.
I just don't seem to be happy anymore and starting to wonder if it's antenatal depression or not?
There are other factors contributing to me feeling like this, not just work.
