My husband and I are ready to start trying for our first baby: married for a year, have just bought a place and we're doing just about well enough financially etc. We're not likely to get to a better place in the next few years and we're both broody!
Only thing holding me back is my work. I don't feel 100% secure in my job and don't feel that I am valued. I def. need to return to work after pregnancy as we can't do without the income and am terrified by the idea of managing mat. leave and returning to work in a workplace where I'm unsure of my standing. I want to speak to someone outside my work about 'tactics' - what, if anything, I can do to shore up my position before I go on mat. leave and how to manage my time off and return to work.
Am I looking for a life coach? Or a mentor?? Anyone else get help with thinking through the work side of things before a baby?
