For anyone returning to work soon
So today I had my first shift back at work since being on mat leave and honestly it went so well. Everyone was super welcoming and friendly and helped me a lot and made sure I wasn't overwhelmed or anything (I work in Greggs btw). It felt like I never left at all.
To those of you returning to work soon I promise that you are an amazing mum for doing so. Work is a break from your baby which you do need for your mental health and interacting with other adults is so good too. You'll feel nervous and you'll miss your baby but once you go back you will feel better.

@Steph it is scary but once you complete your first shift you'll feel less scared. I'm sure your coworkers look forward to you returning :)
I went back 2 weeks ago, it’s hard but rewarding. Means the time I do spend with LO is quality, fun time … not obsessing over sleep and feeds…as much x
I had a couple of KIT days this week and it felt so good to use my brain again and have proper adult conversations 😂
Thanks for this as I'm back in September and dreading it but hopefully the thought of it will be worse than the reality
