Freaking out about going back to work

I have 7 weeks left of maternity leave and every day I'm getting more and more upset about going back. We found a really good day care, but we are on a waiting list and it's looking less and less hopeful that we will get in. My husband is pushing me to figure out our "Plan B". The problem is, I haven't found one single other place that I can even imagine sending our son to. I have no idea what to do! 

Re: Freaking out about going back to work

  • I am not in the same boat but kinda. We eliminated sending our daughters to day care due to them being preemies and all. So I am trying to find a nanny at the moment. Do you have family that could help you until you get in?

  • I can totally relate with the dread.  I had the same issue with our daycare.  I saw a friend go through this after her LO arrived, so I was able to find a neighbor to share a nanny with while we wait on daycare.  I'm feeling better that I'll go back to work in April and LO will be in my home mostly until August.  Good luck!
