returning to work???

Question

Any new moms going back to work soon? My baby is approaching 3 months and I'll be returning back to work in 2 weeks. I'm so sad. 
I wish I could stay with her for a few more months.  I feel like I will be missing out.  I know staying at home is full time job as well but I   keep comparing my situation to those who do not work and are able to be with their babies.
It gives me so much anxiety.

Answer

I go back in three weeks and get so sad just thinking about missing everything about her. :( What puts me at ease is knowing she'll be at home with my mom who will take complete care of her. Hopefully your baby will be with someone that will ease your mind as well!

Answer

I am joining back tomorrow 😞 Had 8 weeks of disability leave

Answer

I had my doctor to extend my disability, so I will not be back until January, that way I can spend more time with my baby. I feel more comfortable coming back to work when my baby is almost 5 months than now.

Answer

I went back last week, and they turned 2 months my 2nd day back. It was hard, but my boyfriend would bring my twins up to me for one of my breaks and I would go home to them on lunch. Made it much easier

Answer

I have less than 2 weeks left and he will only be 8weeks... I'm dreading it so much but I'm the primary breadwinner so I kinda have to

Answer

I went back 8 days ago and it SUCKS. 
My girl is only 2 months old as of Sunday and I cried for days before I went back to work. I was a mess. Everytime I leave it does get easier, but then I'm beating myself up that it is getting easier. 😭 I'm looking for a new job for my husband so that I could stay home part time but I haven't had any luck yet. I miss my girl so much 😣

Answer

This is my last week off, I go back on Monday. My baby will only be 10 weeks old and I just keep feeling sad every time I think about having to leave him! I am grateful that we're fortunate enough to have family watching him so I don't have to send him to daycare yet. But then I'll have to listen to my in-laws brag about all the time they get to spend with him. 😢 Ugh, I just want to spend the next 6 days snuggling as much as I can!!

Answer

Feeling the same way.  I go back to teaching in 3 weeks and it's breaking my heart.  I just want to stay home and take care of the kids. I'm going to miss our time.

Answer

I keep telling my husband I never want to go back. I go back in 2 weeks and my son will be 2.5 months old. It's just not enough time to have with your brand new child. I'm very lucky though that he will be with either my husband or my mom everyday. I'm really dreading going back though it's almost making me upset, anxious and stressed thinking about it. I really wish I could find a job working from home.

Write there with you 😢 I'm so anxious... What are you doing for care?
