Teachers- what do you think?
in Baby
Hey there, I am a primary school teacher and have been back at work for a month after 9 months maternity leave. Thing is ... I can't wait to TTC again, my hubbie and I have always wanted our children close together. I know I only have to be back for 6 months but was wondering how long you thought it was acceptable to be back before getting pregnant again ... don't want to piss the head off! I feel a bit of extra pressure as I've come back to a new year group and am also SLT. So, what's your opinion? Any views welcome!

I too am a primary school teacher.
I would defo say start TTC when you are ready and sod your head!!!
I was back after 7 months off for 2.5 weeks when I applied and got a deputy headship at another school to start in September.
Yes, in our job it is important to be dedicated to our schools and children, but at the end of the day, you work to provide for your family and if you want to increase your family, then go for it!! (In my opinion!)

Good luck with the TTC.

We have had a couple of teachers and TAs who conceived while on maternity leave so only actually came back for a couple of months in between. It happens
The Head is paid to smile, say congratulations and get on with finding cover.
Good luck ttc x
Glad you've made a decision! xx
I hope they went straight to their union?
sorry rambling what im trying to say is go for it as you dont want your headteacher to affect your personal life. as happysmurf said - they are paid to sort these things out while smiling.
Calleigh - that's awful! I actually hinted at giving up my TLR when I was preggers last time and she was having none of it, I can take it or leave it though x
