Feeling stupid after returning from maternity leave

[Mardyybum]

I’ve been back at work for just under 2 months following maternity leave with my second baby.
I’m really struggling this time around, keep making silly mistakes and feel like I’ve forgotten everything. We are approaching our busy period at work and I’m so worried about continuing to make mistakes.
please someone tell me it gets easier and I’ll remember how to be good at my job again? I don’t remember it being this difficult after my first baby ☹️

It’s difficult to have your focus back on work. It’s really likely it will pass.

Have they thrown you straight back in?
Really, after being absent for several months it’s reasonable to ease back in a bit. I’d always build up over a short period rather than expecting someone to immediately be working at their usual pace.
