I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant. If you have seen some of my other posts, you will have been I have bled for around 7 weeks of my pregnancy which has caused me a fair bit of anxiety and stress. I had a private early private scan and saw heartbeat at 8 weeks and everything was good so far!

Anyways, my job isn't over the top high pressure, but it's very fast paced and quick deadlines - I'm a PA to a director of a very large company. So I am relied on a lot for many various things. I've always coped well in my job until I fell pregnant. Then the 60+ miles a day I travel started to bug me, and yesterday I got kept late and I almost felt like he did it on purpose to annoy me as he knows I hate how bad the traffic is if I'm kept late. Anyways, I left work feeling so uptight, stressed and was so upset. I know it's my hormones, as I wasn't like this before, but I can't seem to control it now. I phoned him today but no answer, I left a message to say I'll work from home today due to being up most of the night unwell.

I don't know what I'm asking really, I guess has anyone else found little things really getting to them? Has anything at work upset you whilst being pregnant? Should I try speak to him or the HR department (not that I'm sure they could do much!) and any coping methods or things to help me feel at ease whilst I continue to work and travel

I'd definitely try to speak to him, if that doesn't work go to HR.

I really hope it gets better for you
