Description

Having a baby doesn’t have to mean putting your career on hold. Though pregnancy and childbirth can create tricky situations for moms in the workplace--including legal, social, and practical ones--it’s possible to balance a successful career with committed motherhood. Allyson Downey has done it twice, and Here's the Plan. is her playbook for success. Straightforward, practical, and thoroughly researched, Here's the Plan. provides actionable advice for professional women entering motherhood. With advice collected from her own experiences and interviews with more than fifty working mothers, Allyson Downey--founder of weeSpring, the "Yelp for baby products,” and a successful mother of two young children--lays out the essential information new and expectant moms need, including info on how to handle pregnancy at work, maternity leave, and the transition back to working life. Allyson takes on such tricky questions as, "How long should I take off for maternity leave?” "What should my out-of-office message say?” And "What exactly constitutes pregnancy discrimination?” Sensible, compact, and written by one working mom for the benefit of others, Here's the Plan. is the definitive playbook for new and expectant mothers who are thinking, "I’ve leaned in. Now what?”
