Are there any other working moms out there? I've been SO emotional and depressed today thinking about putting my 8 week old baby in child care when the time comes. My mom was a stay at home mom with me until I was in third grade and I remember always feeling like I would give up all my toys to just have my mom home and it's freaking me out.
I live three hours away from family, I get 12 weeks total but that includes time before as well and I don't know when my doctor is going to let me go out. I feel like I'm having pre labor depression or something.
Be thankful you get 8 weeks. I have to return back to school/work in 3 weeks so we have to have a nanny. I've been struggling with this for a while now and I just wish I could stay pregnant much longer so I wouldn't have to leave him.
