I am an elementary teacher. My due date is August 11th. School starts August 19th. I already have a scheduled c-section at 38 weeks due to my first baby's size. So the baby will be here July 28th. After I had my son I didn't go back to work until 6 weeks later and I only worked two days a week. I "stayed home" (I was in college as well but it didn't require me to be away from him very often) for his first year of life before I took him to daycare. I know that with this baby I will want to stay home and nurse, etc. We just can't afford to though. I am excited to teach, I am looking at switching to a different grade and I am really pumped up about a new school year. I am worried that when the baby comes that I will not feel that way but feel that I want to stay home.
SO my question is...for those of you that already have kids or even if this is your first. When are you planning on going back to work? Did you handle it okay? Did you pump at work (that's my plan)?
