Taking Time Off
Taking care of your child while freelancing will not be easy. You need to properly manage your time in order to be productive in both freelancing and a full-time mom. The best option for you to take, during pregnancy , and even after giving birth is to stop your freelancing career for a while and focus on motherhood. You can go back anytime soon in freelancing once you’re ready.
Jumping Back In Again
Most of the new parents will be busy within the first few weeks of motherhood because they’re having a hard time adjusting and going back to freelancing at the same time.

Asking for Help
Being a parent is hard especially if you are a first time Mom. It is one of the most challenging and most tiring responsibilities and yet, you need to overcome it. In order for you to avoid stress and depression, you need to seek help from your Husband, from your family members, or someone you can pay to help you take care of your baby. In that case, you will be able to continue doing your freelance tasks without worrying.
Changing Focus
