Women Going Back To Work Series: A Letter from Your Unborn Child

Most women look forward to the 9 months of pregnancy and the sweet pain of delivery, after which they hold their newborn baby in their arms. The next few months after delivery are a whirlwind of emotions—sleep deprivation, overwhelming love, hints of frustration, and a strong urge to protect. Though a whirlwind, you would not trade this period for anything.

But now, it has come to an end, and it is time to return to work. What do you do? You have grown attached to your newborn, and the very thought of leaving your baby for an hour is unthinkable, much less 8-10 hours.

Welcome to the start of our “Women Going Back To Work” series!

Today’s post is somewhat different from our usual posts. Today, we bring you a letter to every mother—from your unborn child.

From Your Unborn Child

Mummy, mummy, I’m so glad to be here.

My little life has already begun.

And though it’s a while till you see me appear,

Mummy, mummy, I’m having such fun!

Mummy, mummy, my heart has started to beat!

My blood coursing round

It’s a wonderful thing laying here in the heat

Listening to your every sound.

Mummy, mummy, I’ve now got fingers & toes
