Stressed.

[leonaaa]

I'm 19w+2d and I'm due January 2020. I work on my feet, and it can be a busy environment where I'm the only staff member in at times so I've requested to take my maternity leave at the end of November, I'll be 32 weeks then.
I'm very stressed at work and have no support whatsoever from my manager(she owns the business) there is no HR, no health and safety manager, nothing like that I can turn to.
I'm often the only staff member in during the day and there's sometimes lifting involved. Another worry of mine is that quite often there is a need for a staff member to go up a ladder to ensure safety of customers in my workplace, now that I'm getting a bump I really don't feel comfortable going up a ladder but I have no choice if I'm the only staff member in. Surely this is unsafe? I've had a risk assessment done and all that's been put in is to ask another member of staff.. well I can't if I'm the only one in!?
I don't ever get breaks and I'm getting more and more stressed and tired. I'm asleep by 9pm every night and it's really affecting my mental health.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What did you do? What are my options? Should I see my GP or is it a waste of his time?

Thank you in advance

I'm 20+3 so I know the feeling of suddenly feeling 'more pregnant' and worrying about it.

In your shoes I'd tell (not ask) my manager that you can no longer go up ladders or lift heavy things.

And if that means you can't help customers, so be it. She need to find a solution. And a legal one!

As @Peony99 says, this is your managers problem, not yours. Don't do anything that you aren't comfortable with or will out you/baby at risk. Your employer has a duty of care to you so will need to make arrangements to cover the duties that you can't x
