Trying to decide wether to come back or not after maternity leave...my baby is number one to b able to breastfeed him and raise him and all the good stuff is worth more to me then anything else but i also dont want to leave my husband alone with all the bills..any advice ladies. Has anyone gone through this and what was ur decision?
Maternity leave Sorry ladies if this has already been asked but when are you guys going on maternity leave? I was thinking about working all the way up until my due date but with my work schedule, I may take it earlier
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
So my dog will not leave my side at all, she follows me everywhere. Could she be sensing pregnancy?
I'm 17 my boyfriend is 18 if I wanted to leave him could I take me and my son and leave
To sit and be helpless and watch my baby have a episode in my arms and I can't do nothing it kills me my eyes all watery. Why don't it just stop like my baby is so tiny and all I can do is hold him and pray over him...

What I plan on doing is being a stay at home mom til my daughter is old enough to be in preschool, then I'll get a part time job. I'm able to do that because we are living pretty good now ( my husband is in the navy), so I'm taking of it now and just go to school.. So by time my daughter is ready for school (4years) I'll be in my career (I want to be a nurse). Hopefully this plan works, still researching but o don't trust daycares or anyone but family with my daughter so daycare is out the window.

I stay home with my son and I definitely felt guilty at first because I felt like I was putting all of the pressure on my husband financially but we have made it work for 6 months. The cost of daycare is outrageous and what I want in my life more than anything is to be able to take care of my son. And it's HARD work. No matter what you or anyone else thinks, it's exhausting.

@micky, But if I leave, I will probably never go back. It would be basically permanent. After leaving for 5 years or more it's really hard to get right back to the level I'm at. You usually start out with lower pay. I worked so hard to get here so it's a tough decision.

@babyn2015, Im a teacher. I could work weekends but something totally different that probably would not pay as much. I was thinking maybe work from home. Ive always wanted to raise my own children not leave them to someone else so this is definitely a life changing decision for me. @kenitra im glad to hear I wouldn't be the only one putting their career on hold. I think carrers or jobs can wait (if you can manage financially) but ur baby's time passes so quickly.

I am probably not going back after - like 99% sure, but I am leaving my options open so I can see how I feel when the baby actually comes. Fortunately though, my decision is hard because I don't know if I want to leave my career I worked so hard for. Financially we are fine without my salary.

You still can work and breastfeed.. On you breaks you could pump or see if your boss could give you a time just when you could pump

Idk what you do for work but could you work weekends? That way your baby always has one of you guys at home. It was very hard for us but we finally decided for me to stay home full time with the baby! And if I have to work I only do ur on weekends, that way the baby and her dad have their quality time alone :)
