I’m ready to go back to work now but my doctor wrote on my paper I won’t be returning until my 6…

It’s not just about physically being ready, the bonding time is extremely beneficial for both you and baby. You’ll also be surprised at how little it takes to over do it. Relax and enjoy your baby.

@laniejay, right but I’m my only income for me and my kids and my son birthday coming up and I have bills , it’s only so much help I can get

@mommy_domo, that’s rough. I’m assuming you’re US and have no paid leave. It’s ridiculous you even have to consider going back right now.

@laniejay, yea I am and yea we have no paid leave I wish could I would enjoy my time at home with my babies but if I don’t work we will be without things

Oh wow you have to go back to work at 6weeks?! I thought 6months was quick 😥

@hunni.bunni, yea , never heard of any one being off for 6 months

@mommy_domo we get 6months paid leave in Ireland then can take an extra 16weeks unpaid too.

@hunni.bunni, wow that’s nice some jobs will give you a paid leave but my job doesn’t but if you deliver vaginally you get 6 weeks but c-section get 8 weeks unless it’s something medical reason you can’t go back that soon

There are cheap gift ideas for 3yo. Bubbles, soccer ball, and toys r us is I sale

I know how u feel I'm in the US too but I didn't tell my employer that I was pregnant and I went to work at 1 week pp then today at 2 weeks pp and work 3 days later this week I can't afford not to work I hope u have something figured out this was so much easier when I had ny 3rd baby

@tosha6, I’m tryna figure something out I’m hoping to get a temporary or contingent job to start

I had to go back to work a week after I had my son.
