Maternity leave ending

I go back to work after TOMORROW, i literally have my last day today with my little boy and i am SO SO emotional about it. I've already extended it by using some annual leave but i can't use anymore as i need to save some for before my next mat leave as i am pregnant again (this is the only thing keeping me going atm knowing al be back with my little boy everyday again in a few months) How on earth do people get through the emotions of going back to work i never know it'd be this big of a thing i thought the day would just come and id go to work like normal and everything would be fine but wow it feels like im about to have a limb chopped off. Don't get me wrong maternity leave and post partum has been tough, i've suffered with PPD and being on my own all day everyday with a baby has really took a toll on that however it's been so worth it. I've also struggled to entertain my child constantly especially now he's a bit older and gets bored so easily and ends up fussy if he's not entertained constantly so at first i couldn't wait for it to be over so i could have some normality back but now it doesn't feel like normality it feels so strange and i just can't shake it. I can't even imagine going to work tomorrow and having to kiss my boy goodbye for the day 😔😔

I go back to work tomorrow too 😢 feeling very anxious too. Good luck and hope tomorrow isn’t too bad xx

With both my eldest and my twins I’ve found once I’ve been back at work I’ve really really enjoyed seeing them at the end of the day. I appreciate their company so much more when I’m away from them a bit!

@Faye I 100% agree with this, It also made me realise how much I missed the adult conversation x
