The end of your maternity leave can be an emotionally fraught time.
You might be very excited to get back to work or dreading the thought of going back in, plus there's the worry (and guilt) associated with having to be away from your little one for the whole day.
It's something that even celebrity mums aren't immune to, as Khloe Kardashian reminded us this week.
Khloe is heading back to work with her brand Good American today after several months off.
She gave birth to her first child, daughter True, back in April with partner Tristan Thompson.
She confessed yesterday that she was worried about missing feeds with her little one.
"Tomorrow is my first day back to work," Khloe said on her Instagram.
"I've missed a feeding here and there with True, but I've never missed multiple feedings in a day so I have a ton of anxiety.
"I've been thinking about the 6th. Oh my God, I have to start work on the 6th and I've been getting just anxious about it.
"Today I'm very anxious. I don't know how I'm going to leave her all day tomorrow. That's freaking me out."
"I don't know what to do because I love our routine together," she continued.
"I got to go back to work at some point, so it will be OK. Right, mama?"
