Physically ill at the thought of mat leave ending

If it helps. My boy just started nursery a few weeks ago and now starts waving and smiling when he knows he is going in. He loves it. Only cries at nursery when he’s hangry, when he’s getting changed (which is weird because he doesn’t do that with us) and ….. when we come to pick him up. It’s hard not to take it personally 😂 They were so good with him last week when he had a cold too. And you get all the updates of his nappies, food, formula, sleep, games and activities. Can’t help you with the job. I’ve not started back yet. I feel as though I’ve forgot everything too.
I had an absolute meltdown about this last week and actually processing all the emotions really helped, I had been trying to hold it all together. Im the last in my group to be going back, the other mums have said its all going really well. Ive searched this soo much online and found so many forums saying the same thing and the comments are always really reassuring ❤️
Thank you everyone. The gut wrenching pain is horrible. Hoping it'll pass soon. This year has gone so fast 💔
I did A keeping in touch day at my work ahead of my mat leave ending, and I found it very reassuring. It obviously depends on where you work and how nice your colleagues are, but if you're able to go in for a little bit to remind yourself that might help? I started a new role 2 months before going on leave so I feel like I'm going back to a brand new job haha
I understand, I’m going back in 2 weeks too and think I’ve cried every single day the past couple of weeks whenever I think about it. It’ll be a new chapter for you both, but there will also be other chapters on the horizon, too! It’s going to take time to adjust to the new normal, and find your rhythm back at work, but be kind to yourself. You’ve got this xx
