updated-Going back to work

I dont want to Chat Icon

I just started a new P/T job a few weeks ago at the Hospital taking the newborn baby pictures. Of all JOBS! Chat Icon

Its super flexible, good money and I need the money.

I took last week off and asked for this week too and hopefully my boss will say ok and I will go back next monday.

Im so scared emotionally how I will handle it Chat Icon

ETA- I quit Chat Icon I couldn't do it. Was feeling physically sick thinking about it. I feel like a failure. Dont feel better at all having made that decision.

Going back to work is never easy. Especially if people you worked with knew you were preggo. Chat Icon

But your job has to be especially emotionally gut renching. Take the time you need to heal emotionally. I hope you boss will let you off Chat Icon

Wow. That is a rough job.

My only advice is that you should think of DS and how lucky you know you are to have him. You don't know if any of those moms struggled the same way.

Good luck.

Re: Going back to work

Look at it this way - it will be your baby being photographed in the future. You know it will happen again. You have so many options ahead of you.

In the meantime, the $$ you will make at this job will help you get ready for that baby and give you the opportunity to do things for Noah that you otherwise wouldn't have been able to do.Chat Icon

Re: Going back to work

Good news is my boss is awesome and said no problem, so now I just need to mentally get ready for Monday.

Normally I would just say forget this, its not worth it, but I need the money and I just pray this is worth it emotionally.

I feel myself getting very numb lately.

Re: Going back to work

I had to go back to work as a head teacher in a daycare center. My kids were 15-24 months, but I was right next door to the infant room. It was rough.

Re: Going back to work

Going back tommorow.

I have been so sick all day ( all weekend really) thinking about it. Im so scared and filled with anxiety. I'm afraid I'm gonna have a panic attack when I get there.

I keep thinking people must work around babies who have M/C's and I'm not the first, but Its breaking my heart to think about doing this and seeing all the babies tommorow. Chat Icon

Don't be so hard on yourself. You can only take so much- being in that position would have been a constant reminder of what happened. Chat Icon That's not what you need as you are trying to move on.

Re: updated-Going back to work

Thank you guys. Thankfully it was p/t and wasnt like I was used to having that $$ or anything, it was just so hard to "give up" so to speak and I was just emtionally a mess over it. My boss was SOOOO understanding, that it made it easier.

I had to think future wise if I tried to have another baby and it happened again or was difficult, could I deal with this on a daily basis.

I think I made the right decision. Thanks for the words of support! Chat Icon

Wow! You are lucky!
I work for a baby magazine....so I feel your pain.
I would never quit my job though; that would never even occur to me; i love it....and I need to pay the mortgage!
If you have the $ to quit your job, then whatever makes you feel better.....I'm sure you will find a different photography job quickly.
