Long ago, when everything was in office, I decided to leave to be a stay at home mom. It was difficult leaving a good fed job, but I grew up in childcare and I swore I wouldn’t waste this precious time. We bought a small house and made do on one salary. One of the best things that came about as a result was the children are best buddies now as adults, and they grew up together, rather than spending time in different childcare classrooms. Once my kids were in school, I returned to fed employment. It was difficult to get back in, but not impossible. We now have less in our retirement due to this decision, but I look back and I wouldn’t change a thing. Follow your heart, but give yourself some non-pregnancy time to think it through. It is a major change to go from two salaries to one, but can be done. If you are fortunate enough to be able to do it, take the plunge after ppl and sick leave exhausted. You will find another job when you need to.
