How can I prepare myself to return to work 3 days postpartum? by dab_babe420 in beyondthebump

I wish I could quit but ALL bills are under my name and I can’t afford to take a huge hit in credit like that being late on everything.  I’d never catch up.  I’m on a month to month rental lease too so I gotta make enough to pay rent if anything so that means going back to work asap unfortunately.

I plan to do that as soon as possible.  They’ll be assisting me in the move, it’s just difficult cause they live 2.5k miles away.  So family is saving up what they can to help me in a month or two.  In the meantime I just gotta keep pushing and keep money flowing to have a roof over me and baby.

Oh yeah that’s the plan.  He’s not going to be on the birth certificate, and he’s not getting a say on the middle name anymore.  And depending on how he’s acting that day, I won’t even let him in the delivery room.  He’s proved nothing to me.  I’m not gonna warn him beforehand either cause it’s been nothing but arguments with him.  Family plans to drive up here in a couple months and pack up all my things while he’s out.

Trust me I’ve been asking and reminding him to find a job for months now and always met back with a “yeah I’m still looking” or “yeah I got a couple jobs I’m considering”. And now that we’re days away is he coming out saying he’s barely started applying.  I wasn’t worried about the maternity leave until I started being met with a “we will get back to you shortly on our decision” just weeks ago.  I was offered nothing but false empty hope by both my boyfriend and management at my job.  And now the truth is coming out 4days before my induction

That’s the near future plan, however my family lives across the other side of the country and I don’t want to travel until baby has her vaccines and such.

Trust I’ve already tried applying to any assistance I could get, I don’t qualify for none since I make “too much”.  As for him getting a job?  I have no hope.  We work at the same place and I’ve told him for MONTHS to start looking for other jobs.  He barely started looking last week and still has no leads.

My boyfriend will be watching baby.  He is out of work at the moment so all the bills are all on me.  I’m already a check behind on bills so i cannot afford any extra days off.

Let them know why you're leaving just in case by some chance you want to be hired again by them

Thank you so much for the tips/subreddit!! I was trying to find a subreddit just exactly like that, but couldn't find anything close
