I’m 18 weeks pregnant and my capacity for stress is maxed out. I am being overwhelmed with work and finding all the solutions I can but it doesn’t stop. How can I tell my boss this is crazy without him thinking I’m just hormonal? Frequently doing 3 pitches in one day while onboarding new clients and doing the actual client work.

Leave the pregnancy out of it. Just say you are maxed out and need a breather. Your hormones are not relevant. If he suggests they are then keep that email/record that call.

And to add: I have made a proposal to hire THREE new people but that a) won’t happen overnight and b) takes a fuck ton of effort too.

Agreed with Vice President 1, stick to the facts. Carve time out during the day for you ie , 1 hour for lunch.
Feel good !

Agree with the above. That’s too much for anyone, pregnant or not.

I guess I was looking at it like normally I feel like I can suck it up for a few weeks and make it work, but I just can’t right now.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?
