Hi Lu,

Congratulations on your beautiful baby. I am a first time mum-to-be and planning my maternity leave. How did you find going back to work after having a baby, and were there any flexible working arrangements you found particularly helpful?

Thanks!
Riana

Congratulations! My biggest piece of advice would be to ease yourself back in. It can take awhile to adjust ( for both you and the baby) so I found building up my days gradually really helped and wasn’t such a sudden change. Other mothers asked me how ‘the transition’ back to was and I felt like that was such a good reminder that it’s a process.
