A college coach returned to work a week after giving birth. Was it too soon?

Kim Caldwell was back on the sideline days after childbirth. But experts say the decision of when to return to work is a personal one

Tennessee's women's basketball head coach Kim Caldwell didn't manage to beat South Carolina on 27 January (but truly: who can?). But she did manage to surprise a lot of people by choosing to return to the sidelines just a week after giving birth to her first child (and after having battled the flu at the same time).

Caldwell, who is in her first year of coaching the Lady Vols, told reporters she would be back for the game in a press conference the day before. She had missed the team's 23 January game against Texas, something she said was not great."
