MENLO PARK, Calif., April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- According to recent data, there are more mothers of young children in the workforce now than pre-pandemic. While this progress is promising, women in the workforce face significant challenges throughout their pregnancy and postpartum journeys, according to a new Maternal Health in the Workplace report from Carrot Fertility.

Nearly all mothers (91%) cited at least one major challenge returning to work, including child care (35%), balancing workload with other demands (32%), and continued career advancement (30%).
