Anxiety in Pregnancy -caused by work?

I am 25 weeks PG. I already work part time as I have a nearly 3 yr old DD. I go in 5 hours a day Mon-Fri, but I hate it. I dont mind the work and I love my colleagues, but my boss is driving me nuts. He constantly calls me or colleagues in the office to talk things over or just to hear him read stuff out to get our opinion. He says he's pressured from above and appreciates our input, but he doesnt seem to realise that our workloads are increasing becuase of all the time we have to spend with him instead of just getting on witht he job in hand. Also he's not a particularly nice man, he is completely insensitive to any of our home lives as he;s a single guy of 45 with no female influences in his life. If we have to stay after our time he see's it as part of our job, where the rest of us are rushing to catch trains or get home to feed our families.
I've just taken today off because I felt light headed this monring and enarly passed out in the post office. MW has come out and checked me over - and everything is fine, but she thinks it's anxiety, which I suffered from last year after loosing my mum and 2 M/C's as well as coping with the pressures of work. Any suggestions?

Take early maternity leave if you can manage it and then try to find another job.

You have my empathies.

Can you be signed off sick from your GP?
