In contrast to the image of modern mothers "having it all", more than half of those returning to work after the birth of a child do so because of financial constraints, and one in 10 are doing so before the end of their planned maternity leave. Although the financial impact forced 9% back to work early and another 9% to rethink their plans to be a stay-at-home mum, 40% take a pay-cut so they can work part time. The cost of living coupled with the cost of a mortgage means that many households today need two incomes to get by. New mothers are often paying the price for this.
I think it is sad that new mothers have to pay the price for it. However, I do think that when you decide to have a baby you should consider this all and come up with a plan. It seems that a lot of women do not have any idea what kind of effect having a baby has on their career. I would advise everyone who wants to have a baby to think of everything, this includes the financial aspect, because babies are expensive. It is still sad that the cost are so high that new mothers have to pay for this.
