First time mum to 5 month old DD. First KIT day in 2 weeks and it will be the longest we've ever been apart....9 hours. I'm dreading it. I'm nervous about getting back into the swing of work but i'm more concerned about being an emotional wreck, how she will be without me, and how uncomfortable I'll be in between expressing (she's EBF - started weaning on HV advice but still bf 2 hrly round the clock).
She will be with her dad so I know she will be ok but i'm just so sad I can't have more time off with her (financial reasons). I won't be doing 14 hour days until October and then only 2 a week until January when i'll go back to 3 a week. I'm so nervous about coping with the lack of sleep and work too. So I know i'm being a self indulgent twerp, but.....hand hold please? How did you cope?
