returning to work in two weeks

[babycakes85]

just wondering how other peope have felt returning to work after maternity leave? i really dont want to go back, dont know if its because im so nervous and i would really love to stay at home and make the most of my baby while he is young. does any one no if you get any help if you do not work money wise? also we are trying for another baby..

I'm going back to work in March but have started some keeping in touch days in the last week. I was hoping I wouldn't have to go back to work but now I've had a taste I'm actually really looking forward to it. I was afraid I'd forgotten everything but it all comes back really quickly.

I think when they are this young you get a bit weary, it's nice to go out for the day and be able to think about your own timetable, and finish a cup of tea while it's still hot! That and lunchtime chats with colleagues, i miss those.

My DD is 7 months old, we're planning on trying again in the not too distant future...I think employers expect that these days.

I don't think you necessarily get help if you're not working, it depends on your income as a family, chances are if one of you is working you won't get anything (found that out while my husband was unemployed some years ago).
