somtimes i really dont know whats wrong with me. my boss called me on friday and asked if i wanted to come back to work this week because the new kitchen hand they have is no good. and even though my brain is saying NOOOOOO i say sure thing id love to.
so aby will be 10 weeks and im leaving her to go to work this friday night for 5-5'1/2 hours, my mums watching her but im so sacred of not being home with her. why did i just not tell my boss sorry but no ill be back next january like we had all ready agreed to. hell its not my cafe i only had ten days off when i got married and i finished up my last shift less then ten hours before giving birth surly if i cant stand it i can leave with out feeling like im being lazy?
hubby tells me its ok that if i want to not go back yet i dont have to but money is real tight, but shes so little and i dont think i can take being apart from her.
any advise on over anxiuos new mums going back to work????

Returning to work was a miserable time for me too. I also had that feeling that no one knew my baby as well as I did, what if he was to need something and they didn't understand?

My fears were all unfounded though. I went to work, he was looked after. I enjoyed doing something out of the house and he was safe and warm and happy when I got home.

:hugs: to you. I know how hard it is. You will miss her like crazy. Remember though, you can always say no next time. :hugs:

i returned to work when DS was just 4 weeks old, i was only soposed to be doing one day a week but it turned in to 5 days a week DH worked nights so DS would stay at home with him, i coped alright i mean the first couple of weeks were the hardest but it did get easier espically cause i had a really good boss and i was able to call or email whenever i wanted just to make sure that everthing was ok, i think its easier leaving bubs with someone you know and trust as a pose to a day care facility... Good luck
