On my side, I gave birth to a baby girl in September and she is turning 2 months old next week.
In my previous announcement, I mentioned that I would be able to return to work in November knowing that I would have someone take care of the newborn while I work. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, that help is not available now and I have tried to look for alternative arrangements but to no avail. Therefore, I am writing this to inform you that I would like to extend my maternity leave (or better termed "childcare leave" now) until I can teach with no disruption.
I sincerely apologize for the late announcement as I have been exploring my options before making this final decision. I will make another announcement when I am ready to teach again.
P/s. My profile status has been changed to "inactive" by Cafetalk because I am taking a long break, so probably you won't be able to look me up. If you need to contact me, you can reply to this message or contact me via Skype.
