I was working in the health department for 12 years, hoping to get pregnant so I could take advantage of the maternity leave...and then I was going to leave...

But after 2 years of TTC-ing, I decided to give up my job...realised it was silly staying at a job I was burning out from just to have 6 weeks of paid leave...

So I started up my own private practice a year ago...we're still TTC...but it's so much better having flexible working hours to fit appointments in with...

I still work 4 days+ but they are not always full days...

I work with kids so I do find it hard...especially when some parents say "you only understand if you have kids...do you have kids?"

Ahhhh...

All the best...
