stress at work

[joslynn1987]

Im 14 weeks and work at a busy doctors office with 4 doctors. I'm a MA and realized my job is STRESSING me out. My office is just ridiculous. Everyday it's something else. I have absolutely no stress until I get to work. Half the time I'm tempted to quit but don't want to leave the burden on my fiancee to be the only sorce of income. This place makes me cry because I'm just so frustrated. I'm just worried that my job is making me too stressed and I'm worried it's not good for the baby. Any suggestions on what I can or should do?

They just don't seem to care about their employees. They took me off of Fridays because they don't want me working too much but yet they schedule me 11 hr work days. I worked 11 hours one day and came home and saw I was bleeding kinda heavy and had to go to the ER. I can't do Xrays anymore so they stick me in the lab and I draw blood for hours on end to the point my back is killing me. I feel like I can do a backbend to make ut feel better. They short staff my shift but yet have more than enough girls for the day shift (I work nights). People are so petty their I feel like I'm in highschool. I just figured I will work as long as I can there and when I have the baby I will quit. My fiancee makes more than enough money but I like to contribute too. Im just a pregnant whiney person lol

I was in a similar situation with my first where I worked as a dental assistant and the dentist was a horrible boss to everyone and I hated it and was so stressed. But then I discovered I was pregnant, so I held out for the remainder of the pregnancy and quit when I had the baby. (Who wants to job search while pregnant?) It wasn't easy, but looking back I'm glad I stuck it out because goodness knows we needed the paychecks!!

Well why is your job so stressful maybe look at what is causing this? Then when you pin point it is there any way of changing the way it's done? Why are you letting your job get you so worked up? I do understand stress in the work place don't get me wrong my job s u c k s... but just wondering what's going on is all :-)
