Maternity leave return anxiety

Ashley

I could really use some support, encouragement, or just know that others are feeling the same way I am. I have five weeks left of an eleven week maternity leave. I know I’m lucky to have had so much time, I know others don’t get that much, and I’m very grateful. However, every night I end up in tears over knowing another day has passed. Now the mornings are starting to get hard, knowing that my sweet little miracle is going off to daycare where the ratio is 1 teacher to 4 babies. How is everyone else coping with maternity leave return, and, is this something you’ve talked about with your doctors? I can’t decide if it’s my issue..or just something I need to get over.
