Feeling anxious about husband going back to work tomorrow

I suppose this post is just to vent but I feel so anxious. My husband is going back to work tomorrow and we have a one year old and our newborn daughter. We spent 10 days in NICU so we haven’t had much of paternity leave at home and I feel so sad he has to return tomorrow. I don’t know how I’m going to do this he’s been such a great help and hope I don’t get overwhelmed how do you all cope with being alone with two if you have the two?!

I am sure there’s a law that increases maternity and paternity leave if baby is in hospital. Have a google but I’m sure he would still get full paternity leave from when baby comes home but not 100% x

@Anastasia it doesn't start until April 2025, although some employers are honouring it as it will come in. I looked into it for the same reasons. X

you will find the groove, don’t have any expectations, just go with the flow and find what works for you, it might be trial and error but before you know it, you’ll be feeling confident! you are capable mama 🫶🏼 i have 3 under 3, and have just started to find my groove, i can’t be more than happy at the minute, my son turned 2 weeks old yesterday ❤️ can’t thank the lord enough x

Hey! My husband went back to work today and I feel exactly the same. Im finding researching playgroups and outings helpful and aiming for at least one 'event' a day even if its just a cafe trip. Youve got this!! Xx
