I think ultimatly you need to do what your heart tells you..that motherly instinct is always right....
Is it possible to save some extra $$ each week from your pay whilse your preg and working and put that away to being at home a little longer?
Will the baby bonus assit in being home that bit longer?
Personally, i went back to work p/time when maddy was 8weeks old, i still feel guilt but i know it was the right choice, i was sick throughout my pregnancy and had 9 weeks of prior to her birtha dn thankfully i had work mat leave that paid for that entire time, the baby bonus then paid for my 8 weeks after birth so i could be at home wth her and im glad i did it.
Now maddy is 5months and just about to go into day-care 2 days a week so i can go back to work 4 days a week instead of 3 i do now. I feel more confident that im able to manage baby/house/work now that she is a little older and ive been lucky to still be able to be at home with her majority of tyhe week so i havnt missed a thing :) thats what would have got to me more.....
I dont want to miss anything, so even with going back to work i will still have thurs.fri,sat with my bub every week and she has special daddy day on sundays, its the little things that matter.
You do whatever your gut tells you to do
Good luck - its def not an easy decision.
