Lets see how long she takes for maternity leave, 6 months off if she does return for the AO, maybe she will call it quits who knows?

I was just kidding because six months is not enough to recover from childbirth. It took me almost three years to be myself after I gave birth to my last baby.

Really? gee I recovered in around 6 months with mine, I dont mean to gloat, it also depends if ladies also have to have a ceaser birth or natural birth, I had natural births and also breast fed, which helped me recover quicker

My last baby was a ceasarian birth and I also had back problems .My second and last baby are separated by 11 months, so my back really took a while to fully heal.All.my babies were by cesarean birth and took me awhile to be myself again.

Thats understandable ceasarian birth is major surgery and it does take ladies longer to get back to there normal selves.
