New nurse & soon to be first time mom.. mental health being affected majorly. Help!

Is the job market OK where you live? As in could you find a less stressful job when you're ready to come back to work after baby is here? And if you quit soon and then it took a bit of time to find the right job later, or you wanted to stay home with baby a bit longer, does your husband's job cover your family financially enough that living on one income temporarily would be possible? If all of those are yes I might say quit soon, relax, give birth, adjust to being a mom, then find a new job that's compatible with your new life as a mom.

Tons of stress in last trimester doesn't sound good. I'm not an OB nurse at all, but one coworker told me she thinks the stress of floor nursing caused her premature labor. Maybe some OB nurses can weigh in = ) Sorry that your job is so stressful, I know the feeling and the feeling of anxiety about going back on days off and it sucks. Good luck!

Yes, stress can absolutely bring on PTL, as well as other physical problems.  Do you have EAP at your work, have you tried talking to them?  I would suggest if you can do it financially that you think about quitting, no use being miserable your last three months which are already going to be hard enough. Have you tried talking to your supervisor about this? She/he might have some words of wisdom to help you through this. 

@LibraNurse27 the job market is good, I’m in Las Vegas. Financially my husband makes just enough to cover the bills and a little extra. He is very stressed at the idea of me quitting my current workplace, and I’m very stressed at the idea of staying there. I called my doctor regarding my major anxiety and depression-like symptoms revolving around work and she actually got me in today. I have also ONLY been having Braxton Hicks contractions when at work.. so IDK. We will see what she says. I plan on working till due date but I really hope my spirit can make it till then. Husband is OK with me going part time after maternity leave which I think could help take a big chunk of the stress out— as you probably know, full time is a lot harder then part time! If I could do part time and fulfill my contract (till September 2022 ??) I would have a strong resume to really open so many doors for me as an RN. Thanks so much for your response and encouragement and for listening to my rambles. ?

@Nunya I know, I barely feel like I’ll make it till my due date/another 3 months working full time there. My doctor got me in today for an appointment after I told her about my mental state so I am curious to see what she says and recommends. Are you an OB nurse? I had also messaged her because only at work have I been experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions; I know they are harmless but I was worried that they only occur at work. 
I set up a meeting with my manager Thursday morning, I am nervous to talk with her and don’t know exactly how to go about talking with her. I plan on talking to her about leave and then asking if I can come back after leave part time; if she says no I will most likely consider quitting but I don’t want to give her an ultimatum vibe. I have worked at the same hospital and unit since 2014 (I was a CNA before becoming a nurse this year) and I’m hoping that gives me some credit. Thanks so much for your reply.
