Down as maternity leave ends - separation anxiety with baby

Just a little rant as my maternity leave has ended and ill be back working tomorrow onwards. My baby’s in ifc, and i feel so down and bad for my baby as ill be fetching me later than usual 😣 like almost coming to 7pm when during maternity leave i always fetch him latest by 5pm. I feel like a bad mon. And my baby’s life will mostly be in IFC. I don’t why i always feel like crying when thinking about it. I did try to clear my remaining AL, so called extend my maternity leave, but due to manpower my leave was rejected. Just wanted to spend more time with baby as i feel by the time i fetch him from ifc, already evening, after shower and milk he’ll go to sleep straight till next morning. Like i only have few hrs with him in a day. Is this just a first time mum syndrome ? Will this feeling tone down or go away soon?

hugs! im a first time mom to my 9 month old son. i was im ur position too, i cried literally everyday, i took lotsa unpaid leaves until to the extend i dont want to let my son away from my sight. it takes time for me to adapt, accept. I tried my best to accept everything.. and here i am looking at the bright side of it where even my son is at home i wouldnt have the time to really sit with him, play with him, read books with him while i have to the the house chores. so dont worry, give urself sometime, u will overcome it. 😊 he is well taken care off, he will learn, interact well, progress well too. decide what you want to do, dont stress urself. u need lotsa rest, mummy. our son need us. 😊
