Baby talk
I’m back to work and find it such an adjustment being around people who never talk about babies (which I completely understand haha) I feel like I got so used to all my interactions being with other mums on maternity leave and actually feel quite sad leaving this maternity bubble behind. I know this sounds a bit unfair but I feel like I just prefer being around people with children now as they are able to understand your situation. No one in my team has children so it almost makes me feel a bit isolated. Anyone else get this feeling?

I went back to work today to my entirely male and child-free team 🫠 let’s just say it was a struggle 😅 but on the plus side they all said that they know I’m way tougher than them 😭
Go back next week and it's really hit me that his current bubble is about to pop/change! Very anxious 💗
Never want to leave the bubble, it’s so sad isn’t it 😢
Hear you 100% and have felt like this for a while with this being my second baby. It’s so nice to be around folks with kids, makes it less lonely and inspires me more
Also dreading going back to work, I’ll have so much grief. It’s understandable and normal. We love them so much!
Thanks for your comments everyone it’s very reassuring to know I’m not the only one feeling this way ❤️

I go back to work tomorrow and I’ve been wondering if this is how I’ll feel. So used to my world revolving around my daughter now (and so it should!).
