Going back to work /postpartum recovery
When did you guys go back to work?
On maternity leave and nearing 4 weeks. I’m approved for 6weeks but have my fmla paperwork is submitted for 12
My manager texted me to check in last week to check in.
I’m ready to go back after 8 weeks personally but I have noticed i need to sit/lie down after standing for a bit,
First pregnancy.. not sure what I need to be doing for postpartum recovery.. some say I need to be in bed and lay flat but ever since I delivered that has not happened at all.. from the moment I delivered I’ve been up to be with the baby at the hospital, then funeral arrangements.. etc. i can’t stay in bed with my thoughts and battling insomnia.
I have been going on light walks if the weather is nice, wearing a waist belt throughout the day.
There is a shooting back pain that I have from time to time.. occurs randomly.. not debilitating but I lie down when it happens or ask my husband to massage my back.
