Working Girl... With a Baby
You’re being asked to choose between your baby and your career. (Not really, but that’s what going back to work feels like to many new mothers.)
The decision to return to work after having a baby can be distressing: You may have mixed emotions about leaving your child, either dismayed that the bonding process may be interrupted or guiltily happy to return to your professional life—or some combination of the two.
As you embark on this stressful life change, remember that your are not alone. Of the 80.5 million mothers in America, only 5.6 million identify themselves as stay-at-home mothers, according to the latest statistics issued by the U.S. Census Bureau. In addition, 55 percent of women who gave birth to their first child returned to work within four months. Take comfort in these numbers and get ready for a new transition!
Over the next 30 days, you will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to keep all balls in the air during this juggling act. Experts and other working moms will offer their wisdom and inspiration on what it takes to complete this transition successfully. You will learn tips on how to cope with your feelings, stay connected to your child, communicate with your caregiver and negotiate a manageable work schedule, as well as how to take care of your body and mind.
For the moment, perhaps your biggest concern might be how you may feel on your first day back at the office. Some mothers expect to feel guilty, but experience relief. Others think it will be a breeze but spend the day sobbing. Acknowledge your emotions: If that means releasing them through tears, take a few moments alone in your office to cry. Feel supported knowing that your fellow working mothers understand what you are going through.
I am in my early 40s and have never had a happy relationships or marriages because of the terrible mistake I made in my youthful age (15 years ago), though I have been married for 3times now. This story is ugly but I must share it to clear my conscience and pave the way for a new beginning in life. I broke two homes; their marriage did not mean anything to me as much as I gets what I want. It was fun until I got married, then karma started. My first husband was a cheating machine with both women and men, the second was nothing to write home about. I visited a therapist immediately the second left, to make sure I do not have broken home again, but the third which I have married for a year and two months took in another girl and demanded I leave his house. I did not see that one coming. To cut it shot; dr. wakina via (dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com) showed me mercy by rewriting history with a special love spell. Asked me to first go and plead for forgiveness from the homes I broke before the spell can take effect, it was not an easy task, in fact it was a suicide mission but was success. The spell took effect immediately I forgave myself, something strange began to happen, I saw shadows running off my body that morning, my husband who despised me so much did not only call but came to pick me from work to a romantic dinner. Over a year now, my husband has remained a loving and romantic man. I learnt my lesson. Thank you doctor wakina.
I never take some people for granted, especially those that plays vital role in my life. Dr. Wakina is one of them. Ever since he was recommended to me, he has been playing a significant role in my life by helping me get back my girlfriend after months of breakup and also granting me the opportunity to obtain the position I have been seeking. His spell stood like a pillar in my life when I was seriously depressed and almost give-up every opportunity I had.
My girlfriend really mean a lot to me, I see my future with her before she was deceived by a guy for marriage who latter used and dumped her before her disappearance. I didn’t know all these until Dr. Wakina disclosed series of interesting secrets to me through his email (dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com). I did what almost every normal guy can’t do by ignoring friends advises to forget her and move on. I never quit searching for her because I see my future and family in her.
The risk I took was worth it, we’re envied today and made reference to by critics. Once again, thank you Dr. Wakina for the powerful spell done that made me unite once again with my lover, I appreciate the efforts you put in even in your busy schedule to make sure this spell is successful. I appreciate you for opening my eyes for new opportunities around me.
