I just came back to work after taking a year off for maternity leave. I was an attending physician for nearly 10 years before having my baby so I thought coming back would be a breeze. But honestly, I'm struggling. I can't seem to think as fast as I used to, and I'm so tired all the time. I'm also worried that I'm not as thorough as I once was. How long does it take for new moms to get back into the swing of things?

It will take a bit of time. You haven’t used your brain in the same way. It will come back; be patient. Kudos to you for taking a year off for maternity leave. Being a doctor mom is hard. Good luck.
