If going back to your full-time pre-pregnancy schedule doesn’t feel doable (or desirable), talk to your boss before you come back about other options. Can you switch to more flexible hours, work from home part-time or even job share, if it makes sense for your position? Be prepared to suggest ways that a flexible arrangement might work so your boss knows you're serious about making your new situation successful.
