Lucy,

I'd just play it by ear and follow your heart. I did get bored at home sometimes, couldn't last long going out because of my back, so I kinda wished I had something to keep my mind busy - of course you get nappy brain with a baby so it's nice to know you are all brained out if you kept working!!! But at any time if you feel like your body is trying to tell you something, listen to it If it gets too stressful - it's time to relax.
