Trouble with work

I'm roughly 10 weeks, this is my second pregnancy and it's completely different from the first, to put it bluntly I'm exhausted - up until last week I was working 40 hours a week sometimes reaching 50 with doing on call too (which I never relax with) I went to visit the midwife last weekend she asked me about my work and I just burst into tears, I feel like finding out I'm pregnant I've had more things put on me like on call over the holiday period ect, she advised me to go to the doctor and get signed off. I'm currently off for a few weeks, my partner has said he will support me and the baby and take on the majority of the bills if I were to leave due to the stress ect - I just don't know what to do, I'm entitled to tax credits if I leave work as I already have another child at the moment not entitled to anything! I just feel so stressed about work I don't know what to do?

Can't you ask to go part time until you leave for maternity? On the grounds of being stressed. All those hours and another child is too much for you.
