Struggling (emotionally) at work

[AmazingGrace16]

I'm finding work really tricky at the moment. I'm so happy to be pregnant, but me going on mat leave constantly is mentioned whenever I want to start projects or anything. Going on courses has been declined with different reasons given and I can't seem to stop giving as much as I had done just because I'm pregnant. They aren't doing anything wrong really-it feels like it's just all in my head and I'm struggling letting go of work because it means so much to me.

I'm also in the same boat too.. however I've slowly come to the realisation that I will be off for a while and looking forward to the challenges ahead!

I’ve been feeling exactly the same. It’s a relief, although a little shocking, to know it isn’t just me.

I got myself quite worked up about it in the beginning, but then took a step back and thought about the challenges I’ll be facing outside of work and how I’ll be growing in other ways. It really isn’t worth stressing over at this time of your life.

Just looking forward to finishing and spending a year with my little family now :)

I know exactly how you feel. My boss was ridiculous and spent the whole time ranting and raving about how on Earth he was going to cope without me! In the end he drove me so mad and worried me so much about it all I went on mat leave a week early! lol. Just ignore them, know as soon as the baby arrives you won’t give a toss about work ever again!
