Thank you so much for sharing this, Kim! It resonates pretty well with my personal experience; I'd say pregnancy was a professional roller-coaster for me, I actually even changed to a different role in the company I was working for, it was a turbulent period with strong emotions and confusion. I also felt kind of embarrassed to ask for time off or just to pause for some rest when I needed. I didn't want to feel like a burden to my colleagues, even though I had all the support from my manager. Now talk about coming back to work... Another roller-coaster. It took me two and a half years :)
