A little bit differnt but similar. I'm a teacher and went back part-time. I found I was doing a lot more work then my 2 days a week because there just wasn't enough hours in 2 days to get the "extra" stuff done that I would normally do in non-contact time or after school. Also when reports came round it was horrendous!
Now I am doing relief teaching (freelance) I love it - if the kids are sick I don't feel bad calling in sick, no planning, no extra hours and no stress. Yes it's a pain not knowing when I'm working but I get paid double when I do work and it's like a bonus every time I go. The tricky part is daycare - obviously I don't want to be paying for care when I'm not working so I only work on days DH has off. When he takes holidays and things like that I notify the schools that I am available on this date and it works quite well!
If that is the case hun, go with the freelance. You have all the contacts. Go for it. There is the upside that you can be at home with your bub. Best thing ever..... hugs
