Had my 24 week midwife appointment, all is fine... Heart beat is 146bpm and bump is a fine size. At the end of the appointment I mentioned that my heart keeps beating really fast and I get an adrenaline feeling through my body and that I get it quite often, and whether it was normal. Apparently it's not, and that it could be stress related. She said to book in with a doctor to get my heart checked.
Luckily a got to see a doctor 15 minutes later who I talked to and proceeded to have a crying meltdown at. He said I am extremely stressed and having symtoms of panic attacks 😳. He said it seems I'm not addressing my stress (baby and work related) and it's manifesting itself physically.
He wanted to sign me off for 2 weeks but I said no as my boss would do his nut and I need the money. He said my boss "sounds like a twat" (which made me laugh Cuz he is) and that I need to put myself first, so he is insisting I take the rest of the week off.
I honestly thought I was coping ok with the stress of eveything that's happening but apparently not. Now I feel guilty that I have flooded my system with all these stress hormones... Argh I feel so stupid 😒
