[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not a mental health issue. This is simply that you have too much going on. In lots of places in Europe, you'd be on matenrity leave by now.

I think you just need to get it through your head that you are really doing too much right now. Like, you honestly can't do all this. You need to pull an emergency lever.

Is there something you can do to not move right now? I mean, even if it's paying two mortgages for a couple months? Or hiring a totally full service moving agency?

FOr work, can you get some sort of dr's note for the end of your pregnancy to have limited duties?[/quote]

Agree- I would not jump to calling this a mental health issue. You have a LOT going on. 3rd baby even without Covid, moving, stress at work - is A LOT!
I am 2 weeks postpartum with my 3rd. Oldest is almost 4 - so it's been a lot this Covid year!!
One of the very best decisions I made this pregnancy is to plan to begin leave 1 week before my due date. I never did that before - the second baby, I was working and having contractions at 2:30pm - realized I couldn't concentrate and this might be labor - had the baby that night at 9:37pm! This time around I decided life at work can go on without me for an additional week, so I planned it ahead like this.
I had no idea how helpful that week would be. I found myself sitting on the floor playing with the kids since I didn't have to also work while managing them .
I took BATHS. I got a massage. I took care of myself.

Is there any way you can start sick leave soon? That would be my greatest suggestion.

You need to prioritize your health.[/quote]
