What would you do differently the second time around? I’m getting the chance to dig deep into this question as I prepare for my second maternity leave this fall. As my due date crawls closer, I have been thinking a lot about what my family’s lives will look like after the baby arrives. In this episode, I highlight three specific ways I’m adjusting my approach and the systemic and personal factors that affect these decisions.
How would you navigate these second-baby considerations?
- What’s changed with saving up for childcare (for me and for Americans everywhere);
- Why I’m fixating less on birth and more on what comes after;
- Where I’ve decided to focus my nesting instincts this time around.
