Why Going Back to Work After Baby Hit Different

Before I got pregnant, I had 2 jobs and working 16 hours wasn’t a big deal for me. I could handle it without stress. After having my baby, I stayed home for more than a year before going back to work. Now, working just 8 hours sometimes feels like 16 hours. Most days, I get home completely tired 😫.

Motherhood truly changes you in ways you don’t expect. Your body changes, your priorities change, your energy changes, and even the way you handle work changes. One of my colleagues said she went back to work 6 months postpartum because she was bored. Meanwhile, I stayed home for over a year and I was never bored. Being with my baby was a full time job for me. Every mother’s journey is different, and there is no right or wrong timeline. We all adjust in our own way. Mums in the house, how long did you stay home after having your baby before resuming work? And how was your first month back at work?
