As a working mom, the postpartum period can be a challenging time. After months of anticipation and preparation, the arrival of a new baby can disrupt your daily routine and leave you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. I‘m constantly reminded of my personal journey when I encounter other working moms, and those that are preparing to go out on leave. I understand the importance of supporting new moms during this time.

One of the biggest challenges for working moms during the postpartum period is finding a balance between caring for their newborn and returning to work. It’s just as tough as getting things buttoned up before your due date. The consciousness of getting things done, demonstrating capability, and securing your bread and butter. Returning, your mind is filled to capacity with action items, follow-ups, process changes, new targets, reviewing the mountain of emails and paper work while finding time to pump, check in on little one. Meanwhile, your co-workers may be treating you as if you’ve just returned from a long vacation!

Many women may feel pressure to return to work quickly, but it's important to take the time to recover and adjust to your new role as a mom.

Another challenge that working moms may face during the postpartum period is managing their emotions. Hormonal changes and the stress of caring for a new baby can lead to mood swings and anxiety.

One of the best ways to cope with the postpartum period as a working mom is to seek out support. Whether it's from a partner, family member, or friend, having someone to talk to and help with childcare can make all the difference. Understanding the power of pushing back (if needed), delegating, and collaboration to meet your day-to-day work needs.

The postpartum period can be a challenging time for working moms, but it's important to remember that you're not alone.
