Maternity Leave

My second child is now a week old. I get asked allot about maternity leave. I have had to take extra maternity leave (as I did when I had my daughter) as I suffer from hyperemesis gravidarum during pregnancy for many months (EXTREME sickness, I've been in hospital many times because of it). I don't have a nanny so all childcare for my 2 children completely falls on me. Occasionally family can baby sit or my husband can spare some time between his busy work schedule for me to go out to clients. My life has changed tremendously since having my children and it took a while to adjust. Pregnancy isn't a magical 'glowing' time for me - it's basically 9months of me being horrendously unwell, fainting episodes and awful back pain )from an old ice skating injury) that leaves me unable to walk at times. Having my healthy happy kids at the end make it all worthwhile.

So when will I be back? I'm not sure yet. I plan to take a few months out and will slowly contact clients when I feel baby is ready for me to leave him with his grandmother. I'm in no rush. I can be contacted by email or phone for current clients but I am not taking on new clients currently. I can recommend local trusted and experienced force free trainers on request.

Thank you all for your messages, we are all doing well and enjoying being a mum of 2!
