Stress

I'm 24+2 and have remained pretty stress free up to two weeks ago when my boss suddenly resigned. I'm now expected to do both of our roles until his replacement starts on 11 April and the workload was the reason he left in the first place.

Yesterday I had my first ever panic attack and i could feel my baby girl stressing out with me. I'm now still awake at 4am worrying about work and my stomach is in knots. Does anyone know what affects stress/anxiety can have on bub? I'm close to giving my notice now and going on early maternity leave, but also know that we will be in a better position with 2 extra months of pay.

Am I better off leaving now?
