So I'm back to work tomorrow full time and my DD (8.5 months) is going into nursery. I'm so sad and finding it really hard to even think about all of it. I'm mostly worried about my DD in nursery - I know she will love it and it's not a terrible thing but she hasn't had a full day away from me yet and the workers are basically strangers (her settle sessions were only a couple of hours at a time). She is also breastfed and will have to go onto formula for the daytime - although she eats well during the day.
Work is another worry entirely - they've kept the girl who was covering my role on and now created a more senior role over mine which she will be doing! I'm terrified about going back - I've put weight on and my brain is not in the best working order. I have no confidence and I feel useless. I want to work but feel like they don't really want me back and am scared it's going to be awful.
Plus I don't want to be apart from my baby! I have to go back (financial reasons) so have no choice but I know I'm going to be miserable.
Please tell me it'll be ok!
