    I'm dreading the day I go back to work, whenever that is...

    I'm sure you'll be fine and it will be like Tinks said... like you never left. Good luck!

    Placenta dementia leaves us women questioning our abilities. But 100's of women successfully go back to work after 12 months, 3 years, 10 years, or more. It WILL all come back to you. You might have new things to learn, but i guarantee it wont be as bad as you imagine. In fact i am sure you will find admin a breeze with a law degree under your belt.

    I will be a good 6 or 7 years out of the job when i go back to work, and i am sure i will be crapping my dacks about it too. But the truth is, your not suddenly stupid because you popped out a baby. Sure your brain might have had to use a few different parts for a couple of years, but surely that just means the other parts are well rested and ready to get back into it?!

    My mum had 10 years off, and now she's at the top of her field. Plenty of other women out there like her. You'll be great!
