Stressful job in early pregnancy

Hi all. Wondering if anyone is in the same position or have been and would like to share some advice please. I am feeling really quite low. I’m coming up to 8 weeks pregnant. I hold down a very stressful full time job, even more so at the moment because a colleague has been signed off with stress so I have double the workload. My managers are all really lovely and know I’m stressed but can’t really do a lot about it. Alongside the stress of work, I have added worry of having another miscarriage after I had one 5 months ago (missed miscarriage). My 12 week scan date will be around my 30th birthday in March so worried I will be given the worse birthday present of them all like I had at my last scan and next week would of been my due date of the pregnancy that didn’t end well. I haven’t told work yet about being pregnant again. To add to it there will be a restructure going on soon at work meaning I’ll probably have to re apply for another job within the company, despite being very highly thought of as I do work my ass off - I’m worried I’ll be treated different because of pregnancy. So many things going on in my head right now, I feel like it’s really not good for me and the pregnancy. I can’t really talk to anyone about it aside from close family and husband who keep telling me to not let stress get the better of me but it’s impossible 😢 Would love a large glass of wine and a hot bath right now! Thanks for reading xxx
