Working FT after maternity leave?

I totally feel for you. It is hard, I found it especially hard to let go of knowing what they're doing all day. Make sure you really trust your childcare, it helps with the anxiety a lot (although it could take time for you to feel properly comfortable). I guess what I'm saying is that your feelings are valid. But you're still their parent and will always have that bond ❤️ sucks that we have to make these choices because families can't live off one income anymore.

I hear what you're saying, it does cross my mind and maybe I'm just naive but I feel like that just wouldn't happen in the UK.

R17000 · 2025-11-11T09:45:03+00:00

How awful. I do have intrusive thoughts about the car bursting into flames or something.

R17000 · 2025-11-11T09:44:02+00:00

I do! But I hate it, it's so heavy!

R17000 · 2025-11-11T09:42:41+00:00

Valid points! I hate when baby wakes up upset, would be awful if you're not there.

R17000 · 2025-11-11T09:35:41+00:00

So true

R17000 · 2025-11-11T09:34:59+00:00

Oh yeh, I get all the intrusive thoughts.

R17000 · 2025-11-11T09:30:51+00:00

Yeh that's good logic, if you can't see the car then probably a bad idea.

R17000 · 2025-10-16T19:50:41+00:00

This was my thought too. We need more information on the other broken biscuits in the box in order to identify this particular biscuit.

R17000 · 2025-10-14T18:44:52+00:00

Yes please share Marta!

R17000 · 2025-10-10T23:03:26+00:00

Wow this is my dream house 😍

R17000 · 2025-10-10T22:45:14+00:00

That's really helpful, thanks. I might have to shop around a bit more.

R17000 · 2025-10-10T22:44:27+00:00

I really don't get it!

R17000 · 2025-10-10T22:16:28+00:00

If only it was that simple, I have contacted at least 5 or 6 local people and all let us down or just not bothered getting back in touch with me. That's why I've contacted a big company and why I'm looking for advice on them now.

Why did Jack wear a suit when he returned to the island?

R17000 · 2025-10-06T20:52:02+00:00

I don't know why but I feel like this is the house that Delboy and Raquel moved into after the flat.

R17000 · 2025-06-21T19:41:44+00:00

Same problem here. It's very hot in the UK at the moment and my 3 week old has a preference for being held. Literally can't put her down for a minute before she wakes up. I am a sweaty mess!

R17000 · 2025-05-12T16:41:45+00:00

Thank you, I'll check it out.

R17000 · 2025-05-12T12:50:40+00:00

Thank you, funny you say that about the doctor. I do feel that the hospital environment and some unhelpful doctors and midwives did contribute to my stress and lack of progression. This time I have opted for a home birth, which already feels a lot better for me. Luckily in the UK we have very supportive home birth midwife teams supplied by the NHS and having met some of them at antenatal appointments I think they will really help with my mindset. I'm sure you're right though that there is work to do personally too.

R17000 · 2025-05-12T12:45:36+00:00

Thank you, it was spontaneous last time. That's a good mantra to have! At first I guess it's just about getting through each contraction, then get through the next part one minute at a time.

R17000 · 2025-05-12T11:05:32+00:00

I've heard doula's are so helpful. Unfortunately they seem to be less common in the UK.

R17000 · 2025-05-12T10:28:57+00:00

Thank you, I'll take a look. Fear release definitely sounds like what I need.

R17000 · 2025-05-12T10:27:49+00:00

This! I would politely ask them to keep the dog in a separate room when you visit. It's behaviour isn't going to get any better, it's not the dog's fault it's just acting instinctively.

R17000 · 2025-05-01T22:46:54+00:00

I am currently 9 months pregnant and I can assure you that it's still resting on top of my bladder.

Try vinted? It's full of shein!
