Hello everyone. This is my first post on this board, I am currently 14 weeks with Di/Di twins. I work 2 jobs and am very concerned to go back to work after these babies are born. I have already cut back my work load due to issues in the first trimester. I just want some advice of working moms that it is doable (or not). I also have a 5 year old son that will be in kindergarten this year. ANY advice is appreciated.
Re: Work after birth of Twins
I stopped working at 33 weeks, delivered at 37 weeks, and went back full time when my twins were 15 weeks old. I was very happy to go back to work, actually! I have a lot of paid sick/vacation time with my job, child-care in my home, and an easy commute. To me those are the keys to a smooth transition. I imagine juggling 2 jobs plus a son that needs to get out the door to school every morning would be pretty stressful, but it's good you are thinking about it now. Good luck!
TTC #2 since July 2010
March 2012 IVF (MDL Protocol) Started stims 3/3; ER 3/11 (9R, 8M, 7F) ET 3/16 (5dt of 2 blasts graded 3AB and 3BA, 3 frosties(!!) Beta 3/26 = 386; Beta 3/28 = 827; u/s 4/11 says TWINS! Boy/Girl Twins delivered at 36 weeks 6 days
My best advice is to get everything ready to go and prepared the night before.
Also, I have worked out my schedule so I can get home 30 minutes before I have to pick up the girls so I can get as many chores done as possible before they're home. It helps!
