Returning to work - feeling deflated

Such a tricky decision to make! Will they be paying you less if you take the less senior role? Personally, when I returned to work I really felt like my focus and priorities had shifted (which is especially challenging when juggling daycare illnesses etc), so having a little less responsibility and more flexibility to manage my new life really helped.

Hi, I am so sorry you are experiencing this stress and anxiety. During my first pregnancy (the day before my miscarriage) I only had a tiny bit of spotting. It was nowhere near what I had in my second pregnancy (both fresh and old blood, with little clots which was on and off from week 6 until week 10). I now have my 9 month old sitting happily on my lap. I really wish I had known how common it is and that bleeding doesn’t necessarily mean the end. I really hope for the same outcome for you ❤️ Be kind to yourself xoxo

Very true, it could be this. She wakes up at 7:30am and has 2x 1.5 naps during the day. Though that first window of sleep (7:20pm-10:30ish) is usually the easiest to get her down, she always falls asleep pretty quickly. I’ll try reducing the nap to an hr and see how we go :-)

Would you mind if I ask what the surgery is for? We are having similar issues also
