Some say:"I quit my job after pregnancy,and the birth of a child is already
a year later.But the body is still very bloated,the skin is not good,i would
like to re-find a job,but less and less self-confidence,inner fear of work"
Some people say:"After the birth of a child and returned to the company is already three months or more later,due to long time to go to work,let me work strangeness,and often committed a small mistake,enthusiasm for work is not high,
and i always think of home and children"
Dear mylotters,after the birth of a child to return to work,do you think will affect the work do?The promotion of your work will be affected?You are not the same as before,or self-confidence?

I kept working until a week before I gave birth to my daughter. I return to work after 4 months paid leave.My colleagues said I became more beautiful.In my mind,you should feel pround of being a mother.You should feel confident enough to face any difficulties.My friend, you are one of the greatest mother in the world.
For the body shape,you don't need worry. You take care of your baby wholeheately and work both everyday,so you will bacome fit soon. Believe me. I am a big eater after giving birth but i am also a hot mother. I am losing my weight by nursing my baby and working.

no, not at all. i haven't experienced changes in work. personally yes, - when you are tired because of lack of sleep - but aside from that no more. lucky for me maybe because i am not pressured in my work, and bonus is i have an understanding, friendly and supportive office mates and boss. physically, oh it's natural to get big, it normal. you can get back in share in a while, just get give you body time to adjust... don't worry so much..

Hi Smile,it is hard to return to work after getting birth no question about it. I've had 4 kids and i've done both ...gone back to work right after giving birth and at one point I did stay home and did daycare out of my home to earn money. We are all different and whether or not you work or stay home is a personal decision between you and your husband. Some can go right back to work and manage both home and work while others find it very difficult. The promotion of your work and confidence all depends on you and your feelings towards working.

Of course, motherhood will takes it's place. Taking care of a child, feeding, bathing and some routines will add to a women responsibilities. So, this instances will affect a woman work.

Maybe a bit. I have heard from my wife that for some reason she found her confidence sligtly drained but eventually got up and running again.

I think having a child will really affect not just work,but a woman's entire life.with work,she has to work in a job that won't require working on weekends or too much overtime.she will require a job that allows her to support her child.she has less time to spend with friends since she has to be with her child.while I wouldn't mind having twins,I wouldn't want to have one right now.I'm still enjoying my life,and I enjoy earning my own money and buying stuff for myself.

Yes, I do think so...
I have to take care of my son after whole day working, and feed him at night. It makes me lack of sleeping and rest. Quite often, I feel tired and sleeping in working hours.
Anyway, I feel I am more strong after giving birth to my son.
Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

Hi,friend,there will not be any link between work and giving birth to baby.May be few days,it feels new,but whenever you start involving in work,you can carry on as like your previous performance.I think,you may get additional self confidence after giving birth to baby..
All the best and have a nice time.

There are things that affect a person after giving birth like change in body appearance (stretch mark, added weight, etc) but it is really up to her how she takes it. With these natural change due to childbirth, one should be positive towards life. Psychological effects like post-partum depression can he helped by outpouring love and support from family. Once woulds heal and strength is recovred, performance of usual jobs is necessary so you can go back to your routine. You should look at the giving birth as a blessing and success of bearing a child and a chance to repay your parents for the beautiful life they gave you

I think your problem is self confidence its normal that their are physical changes in our body after we give birth but later on we will be back to normal not as soon as we expected. Just a matter of self discipline & patience. Never loose your confidence it must be the only thing you can hold on to. After I gave birth I have a self encouragement that I know I can still go on with the competent work that I have.
