It's Working Project

"There is one room in the entire hospital designated for us to pump and really hard to get to when caring for 4-6 patients at any given time."

What is one piece of advice you wish you could offer your former expectant self?

Save, plan, and enjoy the ride.

How much leave did you take, and how comfortable were you taking it?

30 Days prior to delivery, 6 weeks after, along with 12 weeks FMLA! Financially difficult, but I wouldn’t miss those first months for anything.

How easy was it to put a childcare arrangement together and did it work for your family?

So hard to leave our daughter in the care of others. Breastfeeding/pumping is also so difficult when working 12 hour shifts.
