Posting here for opinions/personal experiences.
I'm currently on maternity leave which ends in a month. Before this I returned to work for 6 months after my first mat leave. I took a year for both lots of maternity leave.
The thing is, we are pretty certain we would like to try for another and both agree it'll be our last time.
The thing is, I worry about what colleagues would think of me. It's crazy I know as I should live how I want to but still doesn't help with the anxiety I suffer. Unfortunately, people's opinions of me matter a lot lately.
I would be returning to work for 3 months-ish before even trying. And then 9 months of pregnancy IF things were to go that well.
While I've been pregnant, I have never caused my colleagues more work, I've mucked in as normal and only ever taken 2 days off in the last two maternity leaves. I've worked up to 2 weeks before due dates in a very busy and stressful job doing long days.
Would I BU to even consider going off again so soon? I know at the moment this is hypothetical! My dh just thinks so what, we do what we want but it doesn't help the nagging feeling and I dare to admit embarrassment of having to tell my boss AGAIN.
