Not sure if I am posting on the right board but could do with a bit of a lift. I'm currently 29+5 with our first baby and I'm now sat here at work crying my eyes out just because I've just had a bundle of CVs handed to me for candidates to cover my maternity leave!
I've just had such a huge realisation that this is it. It's hitting me that I'm going to be leaving my job and that I'm losing part of my identity. I'm just going to be known as a SAHM and housewife from now on - we've decided that I'm going to give up work to look after our (hopefully growing) family.
DH is telling me that it is not 'just' a SAHM and that 'it is an important job' but it's okay for him, he's able to come into work and carry on as normal. Nothing will change for him. He'll get a pat on the back, wet the baby's head and still be MrTom, professional with a career who just happens to have a wife and child at home.
Can somebody please help and give me some positives about the direction things are now going to take as at the moment I just can't seem to stop crying. Please tell me I'm not the only pregnant lady to feel like this!
Sorry for sounding all doom and gloom. Don't know what is wrong with me today. Damn hormones
