I have been out of the workforce for about a year and a half now. I was a college administrator.  I left a previous job b/c of complications that I was experiencing during the pregnancy. I was on bedrest from a very early point in the pregnancy and had exhausted all of my personal leave and short term disability.  I ended up having a late term miscarriage and was an emotional mess after the death of my son.  In a haste decision, I decided to leave my job mainly b/c of their unsupportive attitude towards me during this time period. In fact, my supervisor kept calling me in the hospital about work related matters while I was in pre-term labor!!!   Once my mind cleared I realized that this was a bad decision.  I knew that I wanted to get pregnant again but was very well aware that I could not work while pregnant.  So, I decided to try again and within a year or more...I gave birth two a set of twins. 

Here's my question...my twins are now a year old...I think I am ready to go back into the workforce...but how do I respond to the big gap of employment and on top of that how do I not look like an emotional quack that just up and left her job?  Will I have to take on an entry level job? 

I have nine year old twins, so I have a soft spot for all twins moms!  Nobody needs to know that whole story -- in fact, keep it to yourself.  You can say you had difficulties with a failed pregnancy and then had trouble conceiving -- but now that you've got perfect twins, you're ready to get back to work.  Focus on what you bring to a potential employer and avoid delving into the drama of the past.  You have a perfectly legit story with this.  Be positive...network a lot b/c people who know you will be the best source of job leads. They know you're a good person and they'll want to help. Good luck
