Becoming a SAHM
Show your support
I got pregnant earlier than we planned and so I had planned to go back to work with a nanny. But things with the nanny we lined up fell through. My LO was born preemie at 31 weeks and was still in nicu, still having apnea episodes when it was time for me to go back and I just decided all signs pointed to go ahead and stay home. I’ve never once regretted staying home with him instead of working. Of course staying home is a full time job in itself, but especially with my LO being a preemie and having had therapy twice a week for most of the past 2 years definitely has kept me busy. Even if I do ever have some burnout or anything like that it’s never related to him or me wanting to go back to work, just my hopefully semi helpful 2 cents 😀
Sahm ì feel is rewarding and fun I wouldn't want it no other way
My parents never made time for me when i was a child and I craved their presence; so I told myself that when I have a baby I will give him my entire attention
My exact story. I was so burned out I left at 36 weeks and never looked back. I was ready to get away from that job especially since I had a few bad experiences there while being pregnant. The transition wasn’t hard at all because of those reasons and more. Plus I was so ready to be a mom without the stress of that job more importantly. You will be fine. I would say look into ways to work from home if you enjoy working. Being a SAHM has been the best experience. Although stressful at times the reward of being able to be a SAHM, see every single milestone, not having to worry about putting my child in daycare, and the BOND developed is greater than any job…hell ANYTHING!
