I’m a dental hygienist and my maternity leave is sadly ending soon. I work 3 days a week right now and even though I want to stay home with my 2 babies (3yrs and 3 months) it is not financially possible yet. I am dreading going back, my office is barely giving me pumping breaks in my schedule, and the stress is affecting my mental health a lot. I was nervous after my first baby but this time around I’m drowning in the stress of it differently. I had so much fun on maternity leave spending time with my babies and being present for activities like play dates and library programs. My mental health was so much better away from work so I’m having a hard time going back. Any encouragement would be appreciated
