Emotional and 8weeks 3days 😩

So I’ve recently gone back to work after having annual leave. I work night shift, as a team leader in a care home for adults with challenging behaviour and autism. I’m 8 weeks and 3days pregnant, my management already know as they’ve always been very supportive of me. (One is basically my work mom)

So staff on my team that I wanted to be aware of my pregnancy are aware just so I can get that extra support when I need it. I’m trying to be super careful especially at work because of the chances of a miscarriage before 12weeks. Especially with the environment I’m working in with violent and unpredictable clients.

So this morning near the end of my shift I just got so overwhelmed and began crying because I had another staff member shouting at me for things I can’t exactly control right now within work and being pregnant.

I just felt so stupid for crying, especially when only a handful of people actually know I’m pregnant at work. Usually I can remain calm and contain myself but now there’s a life growing inside of me I’m all over the place

I just wanted to see what times people told there work if you work in a challenging setting like myself because I honestly feel knowing I have support already at work i don’t feel so anxious about these next couple of weeks till I’m 12 weeks.
