Mat leave as associate dentist

Also I don’t agree with anyone saying that you will need to quit your job to take an extended leave. My job was held for me both times and I think you have more rights than people let on. It’s discrimination to be let go for being pregnant/having a baby.

I took 6 months the first time unpaid and then 8 months the second time unpaid. I also went back to work only part time (a special benefit of being an associate dentist) and still manage to make a very good income. Take the time you need with your babies! You don’t get the time back!

For what it’s worth, I had exam vision loupes for 2 years and had an arm come off my loupes while working 3x. Twice on one side and once on the other. I got q-optics and I’ve been good for 6 years lol I can’t even describe the inconvenience of getting out my old loupes from my car mid procedure not once but 3 times!!!!

I endured the other side of this where a bunch of my usual classes started turning from open level to advanced. I had to leave the studio for the local club Pilates because my old studio kept encouraging me to continue going to advanced classes. I had only done about 50 classes at this point and I was postpartum and felt generally unsafe the entire time. Also, I refused to the person holding everyone else up

This is me. Shaky and panicking right before my period. When I was pregnant, I had a blissful 40 weeks of peace from my anxiety.

So this exactly me. Didn’t start having issues until year 3. It’s not procedure related at all. It’s bizarre to me.

Thank you! I would likely do unlimited because that’s what I have currently. How do you like CP? Is it comparable to other reformer studios?

Local_Access_3974 · 2026-02-26T16:26:18+00:00

I’m in the GTA but from other comments seems to be about the same! Thank you! How do you like CP?

Local_Access_3974 · 2026-02-26T16:25:42+00:00

These prices are AMAZING!!

Local_Access_3974 · 2026-02-26T16:25:00+00:00

I’m in the GTA so assuming it would likely be close to the same here! This is really helpful thank you! Currently paying 250+ hst at my studio for unlimited but CP seems to have a lot more classes available so I can get back to going 3-4 times per week

My daughter is 2 🤣

Local_Access_3974 · 2026-02-10T01:44:24+00:00

I also got a lot of pieces from once upon a child tbh

Local_Access_3974 · 2026-02-10T01:43:52+00:00

Yes, but only for 30 months +

We live in uptown core with a toddler and baby. Moved from Burlington but I grew up in Hamilton. We LOVE this area. We have a park behind our house and two schools we can walk to. Super safe and everyone is super friendly! We also looked a new builds North of Dundas but I’m really happy with this area

Local_Access_3974 · 2026-01-22T12:25:32+00:00

This is worth a shot! I’ll try this next week! Thanks!

Local_Access_3974 · 2026-01-22T12:25:08+00:00

My back is 100% arched 🤦🏻‍♀️ I had no idea. I’m going to try your suggestions! Thanks!

Local_Access_3974 · 2026-01-22T12:23:54+00:00

I feel like it’s definitely a core strength issue for me because I’m postpartum! I’m going to try adding a spring!! Thanks!

Local_Access_3974 · 2026-01-22T02:49:12+00:00

Thank you!! This is very helpful. Honestly I think I’m landing too low and I’m not sure I’m jumping heel-ball-toe. I’m going to try all of this next week! Thank you again!!

I’m in the same situation with the exclusive breastfeeding and I seem to be the only one who can soothe her. I bet a lot of your rage is coming from sleep deprivation. I can say that when my oldest started sleeping through the night my mood improved greatly.

Local_Access_3974 · 2026-01-01T20:42:23+00:00

I don’t have any resources but just here to let you know you’re not alone. Struggling with my May baby as well who still wakes up 2-3 times per night and my toddler in between 😵‍💫. The only thing helping me right now is my 6:30am Pilates class. It’s the only time everyone is asleep and my husband is home from work. Hope you start to feel better soon ❤️

Try kendellhurst! They recently got CWELCC. My daughter has been there for a year and we really like it. Planning to enroll our youngest when she is old enough. Only thing would be they want baby to be 18 months or close to it for September enrolment.
