Words of encouragement

Stephanie • Mama to a baby girl 1/23/20 👶🏼💕 Baby boy due 6/2024 🤰

Hey mamas,

I hope everyone is doing well! I have been on winter break (I’m a teacher) and am so thankful to have gotten that time off. However, I am returning to work tomorrow at 37+5 and it’s daunting to think I have to go back to rushing around and being with middle schoolers all day on top of the expectation from admin to attend meetings and PD’s after school. Also, my midwife doesn’t want to check my cervix until next weeks appointment because she thinks it’s “too early” so I have idea if I’m even close to labor which is even more discouraging!!Does anyone have any words of encouragement or is going through the same thing? I don’t want to go on leave early because I don’t want to miss out on time off with the baby. However, I’m really struggling overall 😩
