I had 2 weeks off before ds arrived and about 4mths after. I had to go back purely for financial reasons,as a teacher I earnt more than DH who was on retail at the time. I knew before we had ds that I'd be going back to work and not be a SAHM but I don't think I'd cope doing that either. Managed to express for ds until about 21mths during the day. DS went to cc 3 days a week and DH was home 2 days with ds - works mostly for us.

This time round I'm not sure what's going to happen as I'm currently a contract teacher (hoping for a permanent job I've applied for) and I don't have a position for next year yet and freckle's due end of April so hoping I'll be able to work term 1, take term 2 off and probably go back term 3.
