[quote=Amaze0707]Congratulations on your pregnancy! I truly understand you concerns. I left my job until my LO  was  3 y/o as I believe staying with her at that age was a significant task. I remember an article that reads, “The best social science researcher indicates that young children often suffer negative effects when they are separated from their mothers and placed in day care facilities or many hours each week. Babies, toddlers, and preschoolers need their mothers in order to thrive and become emotionally healthy….. Recent studies suggest that kids who spend their majority of their time in day care are often more aggressive and display poorer work habits when they enter school. To make matters worse, doctors have found that many children in day care have elevated levels of the stress hormone cortisol in their bloodstreams.” If leaving your job is not an option, I’d suggest that you have a nanny and cut back your working hours for atleast a couple years. Your job is important, and your child’s welfare is important, too. Hope you figure out your best options soon. Praying for your little one’s safe arrival![/quote]
