Hi everyone,
I only just joined MumsNet and this is my first post so forgive me if I am repeating anything that's already been discussed! I am 18 weeks pregnant (first child), due on Oct 2nd. I have been self-employed since 2014 and work from home. I am (tentatively) planning to return to work part-time in Jan/Feb next year after having 3-4 months off with the baby. My partner and I are undecided re. childcare and I'm wondering if it's crazy to think I might be able to work for a few hours a day at home with a 3-4 month old to look after? Unfortunately we don't have any family who can help us out with babysitting (I lost my mum 3 years ago and my partner's mum is seriously ill, rest of our family are not local). I am starting to panic a little and feel pretty alone right now - any advice from anyone in a similar situation would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks :)
