Everything that happens in your life once you have a baby just feels different. From simple things like showering or making a meal to the big stuff like heading back to work, post-birth life brings a whirlwind of emotions. These texts to send to a friend whose maternity leave is ending are one way to encourage the new moms in your life to keep her head up despite all of the chaos of the moment.
With so many changes in their life, support from friends can mean the world to a mom who is faced with the end of maternity leave. After weeks at home to bond with their new baby, anxious feelings about re-entering the workforce are bound to happen. Maybe she’s doubting her ability to keep up, wondering what to wear, is worried about childcare or the office, or she’s just going to miss cuddling her baby all day — whatever her feelings are, they’re valid and they matter. A quick text from a friend can bolster confidence and provide some much-needed solidarity.
It can also be exciting for moms to get back to a part of their pre-baby life, but every person will feel a little different about this time. No matter what your friend is feeling about their return to work, there’s a text below to help you show them that you care.
Supportive Texts For The End of Maternity Leave
• You’re a fantastic employee and an even better mom. You wear both hats so well and I can’t wait to see you shine back at the office.
• I am so proud of you and I know that your baby is, too.
• The end of maternity leave is actually the beginning of a new chapter in your life, and I know you’re going to rock it.
• Don’t worry about cooking on your first day back. I’ll drop off dinner at 6.

• If your baby could talk, they’d say, "Good luck at work, mom!"
• Your feelings right now are so valid.
• Your maternity leave may be ending, but the bond you’ve made with your baby is for life.
"Been There, Done That" Texts
