Returning to work

It's not easy at the start and your emotions will be all over the place. But you will be fine and you will adapt to your new normal, dont out too much pressure on yourself to do everything at work, home, with baby ect. I'm returning next week (this is my second time being on maternity) and I'm nervous about it but I know once I'm back it will be OK xx

I'm with you. An email popped through today from work and the panic that came over me...phew... Just the thought of leaving my girl for short periods makes me tear up. Biologically we are meant to be with our babies, that's why! But...I also know that we'll be fine. As mum's we overcome so much daily, that this will just be another one of those things, and moments in our life that we will look back on. I keep telling myself it's my responsibility as a mum to provide for these babies financially aswell as emotionally. So we are just fullfiling another job/part of being good mums! Juggling it all is definitely doable, as they are only babies for a little while. Before you know it they'll be in school and it'll be less of a juggle, so this isn't your forever - it's just your now :) x

Thank you both 🥰

I have the same feeling hun! I don’t have a job to go back to as of yet so I’m stressing because of that. I said to myself I would stay off work till May. But to get 15 free hours might need to start back end of April. My partner works shifts all over the place so no idea how I can do this

I'm back at work on Monday 😭 I'm going back 3 days a week so not too bad but it hit me today that mat leave was over and I won't have every day off with her 😢 I don't hate my job so it's not even work that I'm dreading, it's just leaving her. Thankfully, she'll be with family though xx

I go back Monday 😖

@Rach sending all my love!
