For women who were actively working before pregnancy, returning to work is not a major problem. Of course, at first the acclimatisation period will be very difficult, not only because of the stress of the new duties or the difficult market situation, but because we will miss our baby very much. Importantly, we will worry about whether our child is alright, whether he or she has eaten lunch, slept well, is dressed too thickly/thinly and whether he or she is being looked after properly
Since returning to work can be stressful, not only for mum but also for the baby, we should prepare ourselves for it. We should remember that we should return to work after the birth of the baby if we want to, of course. This is because every woman wants to feel professionally fulfilled. More and more young mothers are making the decision to return to work after maternity leave or earlier. How do we prepare ourselves and our baby for our return to work? What can you do to stop thinking about the baby?
Return to work after childbirth - Symptoms and course
Returning to work after childbirth and the difficulties involved
Many women wonder whether they will be treated like childbearing mothers when they return to work after giving birth, and whether they will feel that way too. There is nothing wrong with returning to work!
Of course, it is easier to return to work for women who have a high position in the company, were valued and worked during pregnancy. If, on the other hand, they have been on sick leave since the beginning of their pregnancy, just to avoid work and responsibilities, they have certainly undermined their employer's confidence and reduced their chances of returning to it at the end of their maternity leave. Every woman fears that, at work, she will not be able to attend to her work duties, to work efficiently and with full concentration. This is because her thoughts will revolve around the baby. She will worry about whether the child can cope without her, whether it is well cared for, but she will also think about whether she really did the right thing by returning to work? Is she being a bad mother? What if something bad happens to the baby?
Separation from the little one is very distressing for most women, but let's remember that we are not leaving our baby behind forever. After work, you will return home and have the opportunity to take care of your baby and give him or her your full attention. Worrying ourselves with negative thoughts will hinder our ability to function efficiently at work and lead to anxiety. When returning to work, we should make sure that we provide the best possible care for our child and organise our day well. With sincere intentions this is possible!
When to go to the doctor and cure
If we have had any contraindications to returning to work after giving birth, we should consult with them about any decisions we make.
