I had wrote a post before and was kind of stressed at the beginning of my pregnancy just basically still in shock. I came across wrong because of being anxious. That I hated my manager but was just stressed out. Finally can say I can relax now.

Would you just leave you retail job to have a baby? Instead of going on maternity leave as have no intention on going back.
I would feel it's unfair if I did that and let the manager replace me soon as I leave.
Plus with my job you don't get set hours and you need to be able to work out of hours and do stocktake. Plus staff meetings in the evenings too.
I couldn't see it working for me.

Plus I have told a family member about my fibromyalgia. She thinks I should sign off but she or mum don't know about my pregnancy yet. I was going to have to leave anyway to get another less stressful job. I just want to get some money put aside for the baby now. Later I plan on getting another job but actually not sure what yet. I am worried about that because I settled into a job finally after searching for so long. I think my health is what's really forced this decision with baby on top.
I don't want to be out of work so long but may need to be completely signed off. My health does seem to be getting.What would you do?
