How can I prepare for returning to work after maternity leave?

To prepare for returning to work after maternity leave:

1. Create a Transition Plan: Outline your tasks and responsibilities to ease back into your role. Communicate with your employer about your return date and any necessary adjustments.
2. Organize Childcare: Secure reliable childcare before your return. Visit potential providers, and establish routines that will work for your family.
3. Set Realistic Expectations: Understand that transitioning back may take time. Set achievable goals for your first few weeks.
4. Establish a Support Network: Connect with other working parents for advice and support as you navigate this change.
