Until that itch to work strikes. During the two maternity leaves, I went through an identical emotional progress. I questioned my career and thought about staying home forever and taking care of my children. After a while, however, I 'came back into society' and began feeling the urge to work again. Ms. Degros visited the office during her leaves, but the spirit was missing, especially the first time.
Every day is something new.
You are always busy. She has been back at work three days a week since mid-January, after taking 18 weeks for the birth of her first child, Max. She plans to return to full-time hours this month. By the second week, the tiredness had gone, and by the end of the first month, I felt like I was on top of what was going on globally. Even for someone who had already had a child, daughter Isaline five years ago, Ms. Degros found it difficult to get back into the swing of work.
