First day at work from maternity leave. I miss my baby so much - I am contemplating quitting even though I like my work too. But I can't be away from baby. Any other mummies feel like this. Does it get better?

Honestly, it gets better in terms of you getting back into the grind of work and all its concerns. It's a routine so you and your child will get used to it. What doesn't get better is the bouts of mummy guilt especially as your child becomes more and more communicative. Also the mummy FOMO (fear of missing out)... not seeing her first steps, coming home and finding out that you've missed a milestone... I just deal with the reality that if I quit work, we won't be able to provide a comfortable life and good education for our daughter. But do try to speak to your management about work from home days or try also to see if there are jobs out there that will let you spend more time with your baby without compromising your career :)
