How can I transition smoothly back to work after maternity leave?

Answer

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I’m a full time working mom. Honestly it was so hard after my second that I quit a few months in and found a more flexible job that met my family needs more (even though it was a pay cut). My advice would be to know that it won’t feel okay at first- and if it only gets worse instead of better- sometimes the answer is to change the environment no matter how scary that may seem.
