I am pregnant and my husband wants me to stop working?

Question

I hate my job and want to resign. I am pregnant and had a miscarriage before and my husband is supporting my desicion to stop work. What do u think girls, I am into it.. is it a nice idea? My husband makes very good money so no need for me to work. I am 5 weeks now and i am stressed from work i cant even sleep at night worried about my job

Answer 1

If I had the choice I would quit before I could answer this question!! LOL! I worked through my first pregnancy because I worked at a daycare, really enjoyed the kids and staff and they were very understanding of my condition (they let me sleep while the kids were napping). After I had her I didn't go back to work until my husband had issues finding and keeping a job and I went back to work for a few months before we got pregnant with #2. I enjoyed being a stay-at-home mom and spending time with my girls and keeping house. I had to go back to work as a waitress in January because my husband lost his job and had a hard time finding another one. We found out we were pregnant with #4 in July and I have hated work ever since but I can't quit because I make as much as my husband and we need the income to pay rent.
If I were you I would put in my two weeks notice and enjoy the next 7 and a half months resting and getting ready for the baby!!
Good luck and congrats!!

Answer 2

You need to rest for another few months until the baby comes out. You can always get back to work if you feel like it. If you hate your job, then stop working. Do something that makes your happy. You need to have a happy and healthy pregnancy so that you will have a happy and a healthy baby. Try not to gain weight more than 20 kg during your entire pregnancy. Eat healthy foods, stay away from sweets, listen to a cool and relaxing music, think happy, positive thoughts and talk to your baby inside your tummy. Congratulations.

Answer 3

I would suggest that you do quit. Because of the fact that if something happens at work, like get hit in the stomach or something who knows what might happen, although this increases or decreases depending on your job.

As well as stress... Stress is NOT healthy on the human body. Stress has been linked to physical damaging over time. I have met a person who stressed so much he had an easting disorder. (I won't get into detail)

I suggest you take a break. (I am a guy, so you can choose to listen to me or not. Sorry for the disturbance).

Answer 4

I would quit in a heartbeat if I were you. It really sucks hauling yourself out of bed to go to a job you don't like when you are hugely prego. My husband wants me to work as much as possible and he isn't happy that I am taking 90 days leave after the baby. He is really going to be suprised when I go back part time! You are lucky to have such a supportive husband.

Answer 5

Quit. Quit NOW. If you hate your job, and you can afford to live on what your husband makes, go for it! It will be better for you and the baby not to be stressed and losing sleep. What a great husband you have!

Congratulations! You will have a happy healthy baby if you take care of yourself first.

Answer 6

Approach your boss with the idea of working part time or from home if that might help, if not quit.

See about taking a class or another low stress activity that will still have you engaged with the rest of the world. And perhaps would look good on your resume in the future.

Answer 7

If there is no need for you to work, and you feel stressed, then quit. If your husband is making enough money to support your family then you should prepare youself to be the best mother you can be. Just find a hobby so you can stay connected with other mothers and friends so you won't go totally insane.

Answer 8

All the signs seem to point to yes, please quit.

It's really important during pregnancy to have a comforting situation, be able to be relaxed and it doesn't seem that you will be able to do that.

You already said that you and your husband are financially stable, so that's not a concern.

In addition, you hate your job, what is the point of stressing yourself out. Maybe quitting will give you the time during pregnancy to figure out another avenue to explore once the baby has been born. In any case, take the time and enjoy your pregnancy!

Answer 9

You should. You MUST. If you are not enjoying your work, the more stress it will bring so better quit than affect the health of your baby.

Moreover, money comes even if we are at home, it depends on your resourfulness. Try to do something that brings smile and hapiness. For your wellbeing and for your baby. If you bear the baby with a happy disposition, same type of disposition will be executed by your baby in the future.
