since finding out i was pregnant i've found going into work difficult.
i love my job but its not an easy job and i've had a weird week. well yesterday i'd had enough and broke down in tears.

i've done some soul searching today and i've thought for a while that i was depressed and i always thought it was the ttc journey. but today i've realised my job is making me depressed or rather very stressed. the feeling of being trapped for maternity money etc

so i've made a decision that after my maternity leave i will go back for 3 months and at same time will look for new job, which will be less stressful.

this decision as given me a peace that is warming, i have an exit plan.

i am worried how the stress of the job will effect bubs, so when i move i'm going to docs to talk about de-stress activities and i'm allowed to have this time off as it will be to do with pregnancy.

i was wondering if any one knows of good de-stressing activites that wont effect bubs.

Meditating...sitting in a quiet room or you can use a sound spa to just clear your mind and practice deep breathing and just being still.

Scalp and temple massages...those are soooo relaxing.

Just going for a nice leisurely stroll..stopping to smell the roses.

There are tonnes of low impact de-stressers that will help you unwind and lower the BP. Glad you have decided to get any negatives out of your life...and focus on this exciting time! xxx

glad youve come to a decision lifes too short, i found work really stressful when i was pg too even though im not a person that gets stressed easily, i blame the hormones! try swimming i found it really relaxing plus you can get time off work for the antenatal classes.

awww good for you. its not worth being stuck in a job that makes you ill. Best of luck and i hope you find something you enjoy x
