[quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone! OP here.  I see both sides of the coin so I'll wait and decide after my 4 weeks of unpaid leave is up - also I might not have a choice really as there is rumbles of layoffs coming which is stressful to hear 8 months pregnant.  That is part of what sparked this - the what if I'm unemployed shortly (various coworkers too so won't have a pregnancy complaint)?

I was unemployed years ago for about a year during the recession, and I remember feeling guilty as I was home while my DH worked.  I primarily worry that I might feel guilty again, and that I might put added stress on DH which I don't want to do given we have enough in our lives.

I think both WOH and SAH moms are very important and play their roles.  I think if you're a feminist that beyond just the notion of equality, you should push for choice and support that we have employment choices no matter which one a lady chooses.

My DH is wonderful and very appreciate of everything that I contribute to our partnership.  Just as I appreciate his work hustle.   We're a team.  It's been 16 years so hard to imagine life without each other, which we remark a fair amount.
