Gem from The Fifth Trimester for those returning to work

I’m really enjoying reading The Fifth Trimester, it is full of good information and ideas for working moms returning from maternity leave.

I wanted to share this gem with you from the chapter on feeling human again. “Think of this time as a (much faster) adolescence... you look back at those awful teenage years as formative... it’s like being twelve again, identity shift, body changes, heightened emotions, and insecurity. You’ve actually done all this before, years ago. And that’s a comfort”

Good luck to all you mamas returning to work!
