[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just found out that I am pregnant.  I've been at my current job 2.5 years and it is very stressful, I dread going in every day and many days it makes me feel miserable.  We don't need my income.  I enjoy being a professional but I'm not sure the stress is worth it given that I will have a high risk pregnancy.  I am already feeling morning sickness which is making work much more miserable.  I've been thinking about asking to go part time instead of quitting, but I am worried of my boss's reaction, and how upset they will be about going part-time.  Not sure what to do, this has been weighing on my mind.[/quote]

I don't get it OP? You've been at this job for 2+ years and you're miserable and stressed and you don't need the $$? So why didn't you quit sooner?? Pregnancy or not?  And why would you go PT if you plain just don't like it? Do you honestly think working less hours will make it that much more bearable?

Not sure what's keeping you from walking away? If you like being a professional there are other options - continuous ed., attending your field's annual conferences, tutoring (for example, if you're a chemist or something along the lines),  [/quote]

OP here.  Yup, that's right--miserable and stressed in this job for more than two years.  Why I didn't quit sooner is because jobs in my field are hard to come by.  This is a good job, even if it does make me miserable and stressed.  If I quit, then it's likely I will not be able to find this good of a job again.  I do think working less hours will make it more bearable. [/quote]
