4 female entrepreneurs discuss the challenges of taking maternity leave when you're self-employed (via CNBCMakeIt)
which offers inspirational content on motherhood, marriage, career, weddings and home decor. Lewis also has four young children, ages 6, 4, 2 1/2 and 6 months.Absolutely! With my first child six years ago, I was anxious about both being a new mom and the impact it would have on my company. I took two months off and then eased back in the third month. I wasn't prepared for what the transition would be like. It was really hard.
I had a long-time client abruptly end their contract with me in the middle of my first maternity leave for no real reason other than they just didn't hear from me as much.Take that time off — at least eight weeks — and also don't stress about leaving the business completely. It's okay to check in with your team or clients while the baby is napping and you've already fed yourself and possibly even showered.
So again, I say plan ahead and if you're in a position where you work with a team then really be transparent and vocal about what needs to be done and how you would like things handled.
I wasn't able to take any time off. But, I did feel like I had a smaller workload for at least four weeks.I wish I had been better about delegating then. I remember having fires to put out from the hospital bed, and wished I had someone to take care of them. I do now though, because I learned from how hard that season was.It felt like a never-ending game of catch- up.
