    I went back to work when DD was 4 months after my boss rang and asked me to do 1 day a week, only 5 hours and DD could come with me. I continued this until DD turned 1. Now I work 2 days a week. After this bubs is born though I have no plans to return to work.

    I took 12 months with both my girls and it ended up being just over 12 months when I returned due to timing issues etc. Both times I had planned to take 12 months and budgeted so that I could do so without too much financial stress. However in the end for financial reasons I did have to return.
