Babies: 3 - 6 Months
Back at work - struggling
So I just started back to work a week ago (my 2nd son is 3 months old) and have really been struggling. I find it hard to concentrate and have absolutely no motivation - I literally sit and stare at the computer. That said, as soon as I leave for the day I feel fine. I have no problems finding motivation at home because I love being with my family and taking care of my kids. Called my ob/gyn and she said I could have mild postpartum. In any case, I thought I would post on here to see if anyone is experiencing the same problem. I know most moms have difficulty returning to the work world, but I'm not sure that everyone experiences the symptoms I have had. Would love to find someone who can relate 
I went back to work after three months with my oldest son, but never felt it was this difficult - not sure why it is so hard this time around??

Re: Back at work - struggling
I was just trying to explain this to my husband last night. This is my first week back and I feel the same way. I have SO much to do, and I just cannot find the motivation to do it. I get really excited to go to the lactation room and pump, even though I HATE pumping. I actually love my job and my coworkers, and I'm happy to be back at work too. I can't give you any advice, but just wanted to tell you that I'm going through this too.
