more and more stress

This past month i have not had a moment to relax at all. My DH started a new job a week ago and he has two more weeks of academy left for it until he starts his permanent shift. They told him he is only allowed to miss one day because he would fall to far behind and be let go. So i have been constantly worried about if i go into labor if he will be there or if im in labor for a long time he will lose his job. I do have my mother who would be there but its far from the same and she makes me more frustrated and nervous in tense situations. I'm still working full time until the day before my due date and my new manager constantly makes rude comment about me not being as useful and that im putting him in a bind when i leave. I do the same amount of work that i did before i just cant lift and move pallets of water. i told my store manager about him and he just says he is joking and that's his sense of humor. lately i have no support at home. DH is still getting use to waking up at 4 for his job and he is tired when he gets home. so i clean and cook before i go to work so we have a meal to eat that night. he complains that he never gets a break to juts get away from people and work but i haven't had that option in 2 years. right now i just want to scream that i want to have a small break before the baby come but i cant. if i do nothing is done and im the one that will suffer from that. 

 

its all over the place and im sorry i barely slept at all and im at wits end i have been crying all morning from stress i just need some advice.

Take a deep breath and try not to worry... I know, easier said than done! I have BEEN in your situation, so I completely understand.  My best recommendation is to ignore your boss.  He can't fire you for going on maternity leave, and he is just being a jerk.  Did they wait too long to try and find a temporary replacement? Or do you think he is trying to make you hate your job so much that you'll just quit and not come back? (My former employer did this when I was expecting DD#1!!!!)

I agree with PP, try not to stress.   It sounds like all that is going on with you right now is unavoidable and out of your control.  In the long run, if you are able to practice going with the flow now, it'll come in handy once the baby comes.  You'll need it then!  Have faith in yourself that you can handle it and try to let some of the small things go.  I was 6 mo. pregnant with my first when we went through a short sale on our house, my husband switched jobs and we moved to another state, 6 hours from any friends and family.   You get through it because you need to, but it doesn't make it any easier.   In the mean time, carve out some "me" time, it'll help a lot.  Good luck!

My advice is to make a list of priorities and start getting things done and crossing them off the list - this way you can spend the remainder of your time just carrying out day to day operations and relaxing.  I understand your stress because I have 2 different Christmas celebrations to host at our house, my DS's 3rd birthday party, and all the Christmas stuff - in addition to trying to get my house in order and get ready for the baby.  I'm super stressed too but trying to cross things off as quickly as possible.
