LO still went to daycare so I could just relax. My job is a little physical (I log about 3-4 miles on my feet but no lifting) but really I needed the time off for my mental wellbeing versus the physical recovery. I personally found it easier to get used to the idea of being away from LO when I spent my days off relaxing at home with someone else taking care of her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-back-to-work-in-about-a-month-who-is-with-me#post-2471959 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 20:26:01 +0000 rockinghorse 2471959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: I'm thinking about doing 6 weeks, and then coming back part time as well. How part time were you for the last 6? How physical is your job? I'm an RN, so I'm on my feet quite a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-back-to-work-in-about-a-month-who-is-with-me#post-2343631 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 20:54:23 +0000 Ms. RV 2343631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C is 12 weeks, so I've been back to work for 6 weeks technically. Next week will be the first week I work full time, though. I've had at least one day off every week since I've been back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-back-to-work-in-about-a-month-who-is-with-me#post-2343616 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 20:35:44 +0000 buttermilk 2343616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im going back on Dec 1st, will have had 15 weeks off. I'm ready and sooooo not at the same time :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-back-to-work-in-about-a-month-who-is-with-me#post-2343323 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 15:34:30 +0000 kayakgirl73 2343323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm supposed to go back November 16th. Ugh. i will have been off 16 weeks not enough. Need to see if i can start Wednesday instead of a Monday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-back-to-work-in-about-a-month-who-is-with-me#post-2343156 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 13:41:59 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2343156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exciting! Agree with the starting mid week thing! But you may have it a bit easier since DH is home with the babies right? I took Monday and Tuesday off to transition her to daycare and then went back to work that Wednesday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-back-to-work-in-about-a-month-who-is-with-me#post-2343127 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 13:28:11 +0000 BSB 2343127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I was thinking about that recently. Good idea.

Blah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-back-to-work-in-about-a-month-who-is-with-me#post-2343122 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 13:26:18 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2343122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Dec 7th is a Monday, I've always heard its better to transition back during the middle of the week. This way you only have a few days until you see your LOs again all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-back-to-work-in-about-a-month-who-is-with-me#post-2343116 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 13:18:00 +0000 abmamma 2343116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be going back right after thanksgiving when DS is 15 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-back-to-work-in-about-a-month-who-is-with-me#post-2343112 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 13:14:25 +0000 wrkbrk 2343112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 12 weeks too. Will likely be mid-Nov-mid-Feb. Do you feel like it was/will be a good amount of time off? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-back-to-work-in-about-a-month-who-is-with-me#post-2343049 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 12:37:43 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2343049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS will be 14 (almost 15!) weeks...so, in about 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-back-to-work-in-about-a-month-who-is-with-me#post-2343038 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 12:33:59 +0000 BSB 2343038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just emailed my boss. I'm planning on returning to work on Dec 7th. My babies are almost 8 weeks and they'll be 12 weeks when I go back. </p> <p>When are you going back to work? </p>
