Going back on Monday too. Dreading it but I keep telling myself all the good things about it.
Literally in the exact same boat, even down to baby number 2 being due in May haha. It’s so hard, all of my friends that have gone back have said how much they really enjoyed being back at work and being their own person again. Finding the feelings so conflicting at the minute, the guilt then the excitement for new routine it’s all a bit much! Xx
Yes back on Tuesday , i don't even know how to feel!
Same. Going back Tuesday after 1 year 2 months off (holidays each side). I also won't be back long as due again in July with my last, but I am also dreading it. I've really enjoyed my maternity and love our days together. This is my third so I know we will both adjust quickly but it doesn't make it any easier!
Sorry you’re all feeling / have felt the same but it’s comforting to know we’re all together in feeling like this! I’m sure come a few weeks time we will enjoy the independence a bit but for now it just sucks!!
@Abbie oh hi twin haha. How are you feeling about 2 under 2?! 🙈
Sameeee haven't left my baby with anyone apart from his dad and feel so terrible I'm leaving him with a childminder. Due back in two weeks 🤢
Going back on Wednesday! Dreading it too😩 so jealous some of you have another mat leave soon haha
I felt exactly the same before going back and was a crying wreck for about 2 weeks leading up to it. But, it’s not as hard as I thought it would be in lots of ways. He enjoys the time he’s spending with his grandparents and nursery, the time we have together feels more special and I’m not focusing on the other things. Don’t get me wrong, I think I’d sell my kidney to be able to afford more time off with him, but it’s bearable. You’ve got this, I promise and how you feel is valid xx
