Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum and tonight i am feeling really upset and worried and could use a little advice if anyone has the time.

I am in my 13th week of pregnancy and unfortunately suffered for the last 6 weeks incredibly bad morning sickness which lasted all day everyday - I managed to get through this with my own tactics but last week I suffered a very scary and worrying attack called a transient ischemic attack (TIA). Basically this is a mini stroke and I lost feeling to the right side of my body, I was confused and went blind for a short period of time and had pains in my neck. I went to the emergency room but they were so understaffed and busy they did not conduct the proper tests (my GP is now doing this for me). I suffered this attack once before in my life when I was 16 years old (I am 25). I also suffer from Graves Disease.

I start a new job on Monday and I am so scared. I'm scared of suffering another attack, I'm scared of harm to the baby and I am also concerned that I am actually not going to be 100 % well enough to take on this new job (I am a teacher). All my family wants me to quit the job before I've even started but financially I don't think I can do it. All this combined and having been sick for so long, I think I am feeling very overwhelmed and a little blue tonight.
