Working Mumma · Going Back to Work Pregnant? How to Tell Your Employer Without the Guilt or the Panic · 2 Jun 2026 podcast

The Fair Work Commission handles disputes in Australia and you have options and you certainly should know that. matched

So to the listener that sent me this question, thank you so much. matched

It's actually been something really fun to do some research around. matched

And I hope this helps because it's such an evolving and changing space in what employees are entitled to and also what the government contributions are as well, such as paid parental leave in Australia for 26 weeks. matched

What you're doing is brave. matched

Going back to work after seventeen months is already a lot. matched

And doing it while carrying a little one, knowing that you have to have that conversation, it takes courage and certainly pat yourself on the back. matched

But you've got rights, you've got a clear path forward, and you've got a whole community of working mamas who've been exactly where you are right now and come out the other side. matched

Please know you are not alone. matched

You are not a burden. matched

You are not doing something wrong. matched

You're a woman living her life, and that includes having babies on your own timeline. matched

And if you've been in a similar situation, I'd love for you to share your experience. matched

Reach out to me on the DM. matched

And if you've got a question you would like me to tackle in a future episode, send it through. matched

I love hearing from you and these listener episodes. matched

Are so much fun. matched

This was great. matched

And if you've also really enjoyed this episode, I would really appreciate if you could share it with a friend or someone else that you know is also pregnant to give them some tips and some advice. matched

advice and support along the way. matched
