Suggestions needed

Me and my husband will be planning for baby within some months. But I have anxiety that how will I take care of baby and simultaneously how will I do official work. How will I manage household works, office and baby. I don't understand. Anyone having any suggestions?? How others are managing??

I get really scared on how teenagers who become parents in college manage their kids.

Office work will manage itself, you focus on your pregnancy.
Once you get pregnant focus on your baby.

Consult with your husband about managing office work.

For household work, check with your doctor how much load you can take, delegate to others what you can't do

Don't skip any of the followup that doctor says, For every doctors visit make sure your husband also goes with you. He should know about each and every word about what you are going through.

Being active helps in managing pregnancy. Divide work load between you and your husband.

I did following-

  1. We moved close to good day care facility
  2. Got a cook
  3. Got maid for cleaning
  4. Kept one lady for my body massage (do this mandatory as feeding baby is not a easy job, it takes away all the enery)

I joined just after my maternity leave.

Call your mom/mother in law for help. If they come get nany (optional). If no one is there extend maternity leave for 3 months more.

After 9 months c ur workload If u r alone keep nany or put in day care.

Request for wfh.

Also remember, messy house is fine, baby n u should b fine :)
