I started maternity leave yesterday and am still getting used to the idea if I'm honest. I had a midwife appt. yesterday and have been fairly busy pottering about so far, although this is my first child so I don't have any small children to look after.
Already I have had 3 facebook messages from one colleague, one each from two others and today an e-mail from a fourth.
They are all very 'jolly', along the lines of 'are you missing us yet?', 'hope you're enjoying putting your feet up', 'lucky you, being off in this weather' etc but I'm starting to feel pestered.
I appreciate that they're trying to be nice but none are really friends outside work - although we are friendly in work IYSWIM. I feel obliged to reply out of politeness but really would prefer to be left alone for at least a few days.
Any advice, or do I just need to chill?!
