Advice from Mums

• "" Get an office based job before it happens and never trust mining companies when you tell them you are pregnant (save everv emalls, communications and know your rights), some could stll try to make you redundant instead of trying to accomodate if they can justify. -Emilie
• "Anticipate by getting a job that is flexible" – Laura
• “Believe in yourselves, you CAN be a field geologist and a mother if you want to. Talk about it with your partner, if you have, or with your support circle, so you’re all in the same page and work together. There’s no shame on asking for help on anything. If you’re confident, plan together with the company too, there’s no bad in discussing this at work so you can all plan for your time off and when you return. Try to learn the skills on the way that will help you to find a balance, such as time-management. As a working mother anyway you’ll have to prioritize. And if you don’t want to do any of this and change your mind and be full time with your family, that’s OK too! In the end, just be honest with yourself and with the people you care around you.” - Constanza
