[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - have you thought about transferring to a new job? I had a new position when I returned from maternity leave and the newness really motivated me to kick ass at my work. My old place had been under utilizing me and it wasn't challenging enough so I just settled into being mediocre, but with the new job, new responsibilities, and a boss who thought I had potential, I've really caught fire again and I love what I do. Being excited about my career makes me a happier person - happier wife, and I believe a happier mother. I love being a mom but being a stay at home mom is not my calling in life and I feel so thrilled to come home to DD after a long day of hard work I can be proud of. Maybe you've outgrown your current position and need to change it up. [/quote]

How did you get a new position when you returned from maternity leave?  I noticed that after becoming pg, I was pushed aside and ignored and had my staff pulled from under me and allocated to another manager.  This tends to discourage you greatly, I feel hopeless.  I cannot look for another position in my condition as nobody would want to put me on their important projects right now and I see their point, since I am not even confident myself I could physically withstand more demanding job and hours in 3rd trimester, given I also have a toddler at home.  Did you just start looking upon returning from your leave?  How did you manage increased responsibilities at a new position and a newborn?  Or was this not something that required extra hours and more demanding schedule?[/quote]
