Keeping in Touch

A couple of weeks ago I agreed to do a few keeping in touch days before I return later this year.

It was a decision I spent ages mulling over. Leaving Baby E for a whole day, even if she was with daddy, was the scariest thing I’ve faced since becoming a mother. The guilt of leaving her, worrying if she will miss me (even though I knew she wouldn’t) and worrying how my body would cope with a full day of work after being at home for months.

Leaving her wasn’t as hard as I thought as I knew she was safe and I had a good day at work. The adults I support were so happy to see me and it was nice to have adult conversation. On the fibro side it was hell!!! My feet killed, I ached from head to toe and the fatigue was a killer. Luckily daddy was home to help but the second day he wasn’t and it was so tough. All I wanted to do was sleep but I had a baby to look after.

This is going to be a massive learning curve when I return to work properly and I think it’s going to take a lot of trial and error to manage work, baby and day to day life. But I will keep you updated on the journey and any tips I find for dealing with this. If anyone else has any tips for the initial return to work with fibro please let me know!!

Im Hannah, a 20-something year old new mum with fibromyalgia and PCOS. I live with my amazing husband, our beautiful baby girl who suffers and my two fur-babies. Before becoming a mum I worked as a supply teacher and community support worker for adults with additional needs. I have blogged in the past about fibromyalgia and once I had Baby E I noticed that there wasnt much out there for new mums with a chronic pain condition so Fibromumelmer was born. My blog focuses on my life with fibromyalgia and becoming a new mum. I share my experiences about fibromyalgia, parenting (including having an allergy and reflux baby), products we enjoy and life in general.
