Hi ladies, just wondering how often you’re planning on keeping in touch with work during maternity leave (if at all)?
I’ll be off for 10 months and planning to start using KIT days maybe once a month about half way through, but until then I don’t have a clue how often I’d prefer to be contacted by work 🤔

I only want to know if there's gossip 🤣 saving my KIT days until right at the end so I can phase my return to work doing a day each week then slowly building up back to my normal hours x

I think im going to do the same thing. I will pop into work once baby has arrived to say hi but would like to hope for a couple of months they don't get in touch unless its what you want.

Have my friend from the lab I work in. Texting every day

I can only use my kit days once my full paid period (6months) ends my plan is to then use 2 kit days a week for 5 weeks and then take December as annual leave and go back in January. X

I'm only planning to pop in for the staff development days or before a big event to support my cover with the handover. And the majority of it will be in the second half of my leave
