Fill_in_the_Blank Sucks
Today sucked in general for many reasons but work took the cake by the end of the day (which didn't end until after 7:30). I think that took its toll on LBF and my body today. I got home after 8, cried for about half an hour and feel like poop. I am too tired to bitch about it.
Just wanted to ask if anyone has any reasonable ways to reduce workload and stress without getting fired; I need help. Blocking time for work, saying no, passively letting others fail, not working. I still somehow take the burden. Oh, and delegating only works to an extent because I have to still double check and take the heat on delegated work.

Just try not caring about work. It has been working for me for most of the year this far. Also, when I am down in the dumps I like to buy myself something, it makes me feel better, so you should buy me something, it might make you feel better.
I am with Ryan, try not to care so much, that is what I have been doing lately.
Also, you should invite that bitchy boss of yours down to FL so she can see what a real workday is like! It sounds like she doesn't have a clue what you go through everyday.
Talk with your Dr and let them know work is just stressing and maybe you can get a Doctors orders note that you work 1/2 days at the office or 2 days a week at home. Something along those lines.
Tell the Dr and your boss it’s either less work load or bed rest, take your pick.
This last trimester is going to get rough. You get bigger and it’s harder to move, You have less energy. Its kind of like you body knows that after LBF is born you will get no sleep and no down time. TAKE ANY DOWN TIME YOU CAN GET NOW. Though it might be different with 1 baby instead of 2.
I would recommend you just try not caring. But we all really know you do not have that in you. You’re too much of a career. You take pride in what you do and you just can't let it go. That’s not bad it’s kind of like telling an alcoholic just take one sip it will be fine. But you do need to try becuase the last thing you want is for the stress to induce labor to early. That is why you need to go to your Dr and have a talk.

become the uber-jerk on the job. This only works if you train yourself to take joy in the misery of others (not really that difficult really). And if someone starts complaining, point to your belly and say "when you carry around THIS for 9 months, then you can complain!"
If you want dodgeball victory you gotta grab it by its haunches and hump it into submission, that's the only way!
I am siding with Sheryl...talk to the Doctor...give her a real sob story...get those days from home! If that doesn't work talk to your boss and be honest! If it doesn't go well...Worse case QUIT!
Sorry to hear you had such a crappy day. I'm sure the pregnancy makes everything even more difficult to deal with too. Sounds like you need some time to relax and enjoy yourself a little. Hope you can have a nice weekend with some pampering from the hubby.
