Guilt for not working....

bo

So, I will be quitting my full time job at the end of this week. I’ll be 32 weeks pregnant. My husband is completely supportive of me quitting to be a SAHM for a couple years. However, I am simply not used to not working. I’ve been working since age 15. Went through college and still worked and I’m now 25. And although I’ll be working by caring for my child I’m having massive anxiety and guilt. The reason I’m quitting is that my job is now over an hr away due to moving to be closer to family and my shifts start at 5am.... yes 5am. In addition I have gestational diabetes so I’m having weekly appointments etc. I feel bad that I won’t be bringing in income. With my degree I’ve already taken all the necessary steps to be a substitute teacher once school goes back in. However, my husband says I should at least give it six months before going back to work. Anyone else felt this initial guilt of feeling like I’m putting all the pressure on my husband? What can I do?
