Maternity Leave Support
​
For Mothers Returning to Work
​
​
From birth to 12 weeks, the support you need
to love yourself through it.
01 about
Born to 12 provides unique support, and tools to help you navigate this transitional time in your life and prepare you for a successful return to work.
Before I delivered my baby, I read up on all the baby topics I could think of: feeding, sleeping, pooping, making my own food, pumping, and the list goes on. I thought I was prepared, I felt prepared. And I was, for all the practical & tactical things.
​
What I was not prepared for was what I was going to need!
​
I never thought about myself at all, about how I would feel, how I would react, and how I would change.
​
And I definitely did not prepare for returning to work and how I would manage everything once I returned.
