Extreme Stress and Depression while pregnant?
Q: I have been extremely stressed and depressed lately. It is a combination of home stress (bills, holidays, my daughter is turning one in December and I am 15 weeks pregnant again, my fiancé is just starting a new job, etc.) and most of all, work stress and knowing my job is completely wrong for me and I get very stressed out. I work for a company in their inside sales dept. where I am responsible for setting up events across the country (primarily in NY and CT) while I am in Ohio. I do not travel- I have to set these up all via email and phone. Every day I have to worry that one of my events will do horribly and I will have to try and fix it from Ohio. I HATE THIS JOB. When I got hired it was to do administrative work, then I kind of got pushed in to this position. The pay is good, but other than that it is very stressful… We have deadlines to meet, revenue goals, etc that I just have trouble hitting and stress about constantly. I get hives, stomach cramps, and have diarrhea every night when I leave work. I cry all the time, I have this feeling of impending doom that never leaves…. The stress from these things is beginning to make me stress about other things as well….After I had my daughter, I had a slight depression problem where I constantly worried about the end of the world, nuclear war, and crazy things like that. Every time a plane flew over, I knew it was going to crash and kill us all. I was obsessed with it. For months, I have not had that problem and it is coming back now. I know that my day to day stress is making me depressed and I just need some advice on what to do… Also I have developed a constant teeth grinding habit, even during the day I cant stop grinding my teeth…I know this is stress as well….I have tried to look up effects of stress on pregnant woman, but it appears to be something that is considered an old wives tale. Is all of this really fine for my baby? I feel like it isn’t good for me, let alone my little one! Plus, I get panic attacks and my heart beats really fast. Sometimes I get overly upset and yell and scream. My 11 month old has witnessed this, and I need to calm down, I don’t want her to think she did something wrong. IF I act crazy around her she just looks at me so confused, it breaks my heart. I am going to speak to my doctor about this all next week, but truth is I am really embarrassed. When I go to my appointments, those are “happy times” and I don’t know how to bring all of this up. That sounds silly, but it is hard to admit something is wrong.Last weekend I had some spotting and blood that went away after a few hours. I did not call my dr. because my mom said wait to see if it went away on its own. I don’t want to risk a miscarriage due to stress like this. But if I quit my job, I will have financial stress…. Now I am crying again, I don’t know what to do!Can my doctor give me a leave of absence to calm down? Do they ever do this? Do I need some kind of prescription for stress? Is there anything I can take while pregnant? I don’t want to mention these things to my OBGYN if he cant help anyway…Thank you all, please answer I really needed to vent and know that I am normal and not crazy! It is hard to talk to my family- like I said, this is a “happy time” for them and I dont know how to bring it up….
A: It isn’t fine for you or your baby. Nobody should be under that sort of stress at work at any time, but now that you’re pregnant I think you’ve just had the first warning sign.By all means go to your doctor & ask for leave of absence. If you were in UK & not USA, even the slightest sign of stress during pregnancy would be enough to sign you off on sick leave until after the birth. You & your family are much more important than any job, especially one that stresses you out. Use the sick leave to relax, then look for another job – anything, but don’t ever return to that abusive work environment!

A: You can actually leave your work on disability due to depression and stress. The effects of stress on the baby are not old wives tales. Think about it… what kinds of things can stress do to your body when you are not pregnant? It can make you throw up, it can make you miss your period, it can supress your immune system, it can cause you to not eat, it can cause you to overeat, and these are just when you’re NOT pregnant. Imagine what all of those can do when you ARE pregnant? When I was a teenager, the kids in my class were so incredibly horrible that they caused our teacher to have a miscarriage due to stress. If you can’t get your doctor to give in to filling out paperwork to let you go out on disability, see if you can go back to being an admin assistant. Explain to them what you’re going through.As far as the panic attacks and what sets them off, there are very few meds you can take to battle depression and panic attacks, but for your peace of mind, go speak to a professional about your feelings. You feel like you can’t talk to your family, talking to people here on the internet can help a little but if you talk to someone who is trained to deal with these kinds of issues, it’s someone who can give consistant and realiable feedback.Good luck hun.
Can work stress lead to a miscarriage? My co-worker is driving me crazy.?
Q: I don’t know how to vent about this without sounding nuts. My work is very stressful in general. I’m a scientist/engineer and I work to create life saving technologies and devices at a small firm. My boss is wonderful, but I have a co-worker from hell. I’m fairly new – at the company less than 5 years straight out of grad school. This man is at least 15-20 years older than me and has been at the company nearly 15 years. When I was hired, he felt that his toes were stepped on a little since we share the same projects. I always work like we are on the same team, but in light of the recent recession he has turned vicious. He conducts himself as if one of us will be fired any day and he’ll be darned if its not me. I recently announced my pregnancy and my boss was very happy for me. A week later my husband was laid off from his job at a large company that’s been on the news lately. I’m under a lot of stress because if I lose my job, we’ll loose our house, cars, and most importantly health insurance for the babies. Last week I started getting nasty emails from my co-worker wrongly accusing me of not doing my job correctly and he includes my boss in the email. I’m guilty until proven innocent – which I am able to prove. He has done this 3 times in a short period. I’m constantly on nerves. Then today he printed out his plan to take over my projects if the company “downsizes” at the printer next to my desk (there is one next to his desk so this was done out of spite). It was a meeting and strategy to do my work and his. I was so mad and stressed out that I started shaking. The more upset I get I feel a pain in my lower stomach like contractions. At this point in my pregnancy the baby would die if I went into labor. I try to calm myself down as best as possible. Then he’ll walk by my desk and make nasty remarks. Its straight out of a movie or comedy sitcom – except its my life. We found out yesterday that our 2 year old needs surgery so that adds to the stress. Today I saw another print out near my desk where he plans to meet with my contacts to discuss a project that I manage. When I asked him about it he said it was related to something he had been asked to handle with a smirk on his face. I’m sick over this and I’m really worried about the stress. Could this lead to a miscarriage and how do you calm down? What stress relieving techniques work best for you?
A: Start keeping evidence of all this crap he’s pulling. There’s something called harrassment in the workplace and it’s a fireable offense. If you have a union you should definately be speaking to them. If not, get a bit of evidence (maybe carry a tape recorder for a day?) and speak to your boss. If it’s as bad as it sounds and for some reason your boss wont respond keep moving up the company until someone listens. It’s totally unacceptable. Also, I’m pretty sure that your company cannot downsize you or fire you while pregnant. It could look like discrimination and there are laws in effect to prevent companies from firing pregnant women to save themselves the effort of replacing you for a year.Even if your company downsizes while you are away on maternity leave there must be a job there for you when you return. It doesnt have to be the same job, but they have to have something for you so it’s usually not worth it to get rid of your job at all. I hope everything works out for you, I would hate to be in that situation, let alone while I was pregnant.
