Doubting my judgement after having the baby..

Yes. I actually owned my own business when I had my baby, but it was not work from home. I had to get my baby together and bring him to the facility to work several times a day. With barely any help. It took a huge toll on me and we closed the whole business when my baby was 4m old. Now I have a smaller scale work from home buisness. I still struggle to be motivated, but I have a little more flexibility. Actually found out my thyroid was hyper and started meds a couple months ago. I'm seeing a little improvement but not much. Also still breastfeeding which takes an enormous amount of physical energy that people don't realize!
@Natha I can relate so much- it’s really hard! Glad you were able to open your business again, even if it’s in a smaller scale. My husband helps me and takes the majority of the clients (thank god!) otherwise, I think I would have had major losses! No outside help and breastfeeding with a sweet Velcro baby is not easy 🥹
@Natalia I’ve been thinking of getting a sitter or someone who can help with chores too! I have so much on my plate its exhausting 🥲
💯!! Pregnancy literally changes our brain so we are more focused on the baby.
Yes, I did. I also was barely finishing work each day and just needed a break. It's a lot to take care of an infant and work. Almost impossible once they start crawling. Once my baby started crawling I made the decision to get a sitter for a few hours a day and at 9 months he started daycare especially since I have no family nearby. He needed way more attention I could provide while working from home. It was a difficult decision not having him at home but he's learned to eat really well at daycare and finally crawl on all 4's.
