I recently found out that I am pregnant. My husband and I had already planned that I would quit my job after having the baby, but recently I have become more and more emotional and it is making it near impossible for me to make it through the day at work. Not to mention that I feel nauseated and my house is an utter pig sty. My husband told me that he's okay with whatever I decide. I know that we could live on his income alone, but I'm just scared to quit. What should I do?

You have to compare the stress of working with the stress of being at home. You may be able to afford to leave work,but will you be able to afford to get out of the house every day. Because there is nothing worse than staying at home all day everyday, watching day time television, eating cooking and feeling depressed. I would suggest staying at work, however, it really is the sort of decision that you have to make for yourself.

Yes, if you can afford to quit and your wonderful husband says you should, then you should. You can find another job when the nausea goes away, which is what I've done and I start tomorrow. I'm pregnant too and just got over 3 months of nothing but nausea every day. Definitely give yourself a break because your baby runs the risk of problems if you are upset all the time. It's healthier just to quit for a while. Please do it. You will feel so much better. And if you quit on good terms, perhaps they will rehire you when you feel up to going back.

If you afford to quit working and you have the support of your husband, than by all means quit, but be responsible and put in a 2 week notice. You don't want to burn your brdges, you never know when you may want to go back to work.

Yes, you should quit.. if you feel it's best and you can afford it, do it. It's not worth the stress.
If you are concerned, try to make it thru your second trimester,save up some money for baby expenses and to have some in the bank. Good luck.

Try to have some relaxing exercise like yoga... It will make ur emotional stable ... If u quit from ur job... u might feel lonely n start to feel grey....
Try to enjoy ur working live...
The most important way is to relax.....

Yes. You should quit. If you work alot stress can hurt your baby. Stay at home and take care of your baby.

If you can do it financially I would do it. You will feel better and have a healthier pregnancy if you reduce your stress levels. Go for it.
