Hi mumsnetters, this is my first post.
I am 14.5 weeks pg and have just started to think about maternity leave from work, i.e. how much I want to take etc. I will not be discussing it with my employer just yet.
The thing is, I would like to take a whole year, and am fortunate enough to be in a position to do so. However, I am worried about what my employer will do with my work while I am away. If they get someone new in to cover, what if they are better at my job than I am, and what if my customers prefer them over me? I have worked hard over 3 years to build up my client relationships and have put systems in place, set up the way I like to run things etc, and I am slightly paranoid that I would come back to find either that whoever takes over my work will have changed my systems or "stolen" my customers!
I am pretty possessive over my work but I like to know that things are being done properly...
Anyone else had these worries?
(PS I'm due mid Nov)
