Hi fellow teachers,
I'm in my 5th year of teaching and am 16 weeks pregnant. I have suffered with work related stress in the past, but since September have been coping well and enjoying my year 1 class. Over the last few weeks I have developed this weird pressure that I am putting on myself for everything school wise to be 'perfect' and I've spent alot of half term thinking about school/what I need to do etc.
I was hoping that being pregnant would help me to see the bigger picture and not worry about work as much, but this pressure I'm putting myself under is hard and I don't know where its come from. I feel supported by most SLT, and the TAs I work with are great. My year leader is difficult to work with but he puts more pressure on himself than me directly. Not sure what I want to achieve by this post really, I just know teachers are fab listeners and you might have some good advice!
