Really struggling at work - 19 weeks

Hi

I am not really sure what I am looking for here.

I am 19 weeks with my 3rd pregnancy. It’s been a very difficult few months mentally. Physically, I now feel ok.

I started a new job a few months before I found out I was pregnant, qualify for SMP, just.

I have to log my hours at work, and we have a target for client work everyday. I really struggled last month and went to the doctors who signed me off but I didn’t use the note as I wanted to carry on the best I could. My employer is being very supportive and I’ve been open about struggling mentally, but they have queried my time logs for last month.

I am still struggling, can’t concentrate or start new tasks and am just faffing. As such, my time logs will again be very low.

I don’t know what to do. I can’t quit for obvious reasons, but also can’t afford to just get SSP.

any advice welcome 😢

I’m sorry OP, it is hard when you’re struggling but there really aren’t many options other than taking some time off to try and recover a bit. If I was you I’d be thinking that a couple weeks of SSP would be better to hopefully rest and recover then return feeling better, rather than potentially being let go if you are unable to meet the work load. Good luck x
