My maternity leave is officially over and I go back to work tomorrow. Any tips or advice on how to make it through the first couple of days? I'm fighting back tears just thinking about leaving!

I have no idea but will be there at some point so I just wanted to send you a big hug!!

The first couple days will be hard but hopefully your LO will adjust quickly. DD was happy there by the 3rd day so that made me feel so much better. And then I was so busy at work that every day just flew by. You will be so happy to go pick up your LO at the end of the day! Good luck!

Hope you have a first good day at work. No advice, just wanted to wish you the best!

Be gentle with yourself! It sucks and there is no way around that but you are doing what you need to do for your family. Try to ease back into it but do know that when you get busy it will feel more worthwhile to be gone.
I went back 3 months ago and it did suck leaving LO but now we are in a good routine and i really like her daycare. I was able to ease back in but it sometimes felt a little too slow, like if i am going to leave my kid, i at least want something to show for my time.
good luck! -
Good luck today, @jennylynn!

For me the anticipation was the worst part! The first day back was sad but also full of reconnecting with people and keeping busy catching up. The first couple of days are the worst, too.... Hope that is your experience as well. Hang in there!

Thank you everyone! You are all so sweet
I made it out of the house this morning with a few tears, and I'm hoping the day goes fast! I'm armed with my phone full of pics, a framed pic at my station, and a onesie. I don't even care how ridiculous people think I am!
