End of maternity leave

Eurgh, I see you're in America where mum's are forced back into work when their babies have barely left the womb 😑. It's so awful! You guys don't get much annual leave/vacation time either do you to add on?
@Rebecca of course not! They just want us to come back like nothing happened
@Heather great idea
You only get 3 months with your baby in the USA for maternity leave? I’m surprised I thought everyone gets a year off like some other countries Hope you have some vacation time you can use to extend your time with the baby, best of luck 🤞
I'm so sorry the US doesn't offer you anywhere near a reasonable maternity period. It's honestly outrageous and my heart aches for mums who have to leave their babies so soon. I just went back at 15 months and found that hard enough- I can't imagine having to do it at 3. I would just say bring pics if you can, do NOT hold yourself to a high standard at work yet, your whole world has changed and you don't need the added pressure. Just allow yourself to take it easy as much as you can (I know that may be easier said than done). Good luck ❤️
Could you plan some annual leave days so you have shorter / broken up weeks at the start of your return so you can ease in and look forward to extra time with your baby? Could you make some plans of you time with baby in your days off to give you it to look forward to?
