I'm dreading tomorrow...

I go back to work tomorrow morning and I am DREADING it... I'm in tears because I don't want to leave my baby. (9 months) She's going to my mums, where she's been so many times while I have gone out. I will be on the other side of London, like 1 1/2 hours away max via public transport, I've been further from her before, yet tomorrow just seems so hard. I'm terrified of going to work and I can't explain exactly why. I just feel like I'm abandoning my baby. My husband was understanding at first, but now he's just annoyed at my constant crying, and I don't know how to stop. Idk if I want any advice, just really hope someone else feels/felt like this?

Sending virtual hugs 🤗 I know it’s hard. I felt the exact same when I was leaving my little girl to return to work back in 2012. Where I’m from we only had 3 months leave and I can say if wasn’t for my mother, who took good care of her, she’s about to be thirteen end of this month. Just know your mom will do an excellent job. I now have a little one(Boy) and I’m returning to work in August. I’m dreading it already😩

We share the same feelings. 😫 my son is 10 months and in the past I had to leave him at a daycare facility, I would have separation anxiety, and he would be crying/ screaming all day. He hasn’t been back to daycare since February I know eventually he’ll have to be around other people and kids, I want that for him but as a 1st time mom and single mother it’s just truly hard leaving your little anywhere. I don’t think the feeling ever goes away I think that’s just something us mothers go through. We will always worry about our children 🥺 if it help maybe communicate with your mother to give you an update/ pic & video of your child every 30mins-1 hour( it might seem much but I’m sure as a mom she should understand ) Good luck 🫶🏽You got this!!!

The night before and first day is hardest . Good luck - it’ll get easier xx
