Join the club. There are millions of working mothers out there, and most have struggled through some tough weeks back after returning from maternity leave. Just talking with other moms at your workplace or online can make you feel less alone. To connect with other new mothers at IBM, Serrette put a journal in one of the firm’s lactation rooms so users could share their stories and advice. Consider setting up one in your own office, or join the authors’ forum. You may even want to start your own online diary on a site like ours or Blogger. And it’s not just for you—you never know who’s out there in need of your help.
