My T encouraged me to take that break as he also worried about the effects such stresses would have on me and the pregnancy. Maybe a break for a few months might be in order.

This is a good way of framing it, especially as related to having a baby. I let my T know that I'll be taking a break for now, and will contact her in the future when I'm ready to return. I'm still struggling with the idea, but in the end, know that it's probably for the best.
