So I'm scheduled to have my baby on March 28th, but yesterday my doctor said that my amniotic fluid is low and my blood pressure is high and I'm 50% effaced and baby's head is at a -1 so she advised I go ahead and stop working now. But I'm soooo not ready to! I planned on working up until I had the baby because I'm still kind of new at my company I only get the minimum 8 weeks post c section and I wanted every single day I take off to be with the baby. I don't need to waste it "resting".. I'm sad and it's only 2 weeks but that's a week and a half I could have with the baby :(
you can get 12weeks. ask your ob about it. I was working with my second and my doctor informed me that typically its 6-8weeks, but you can actually get 12. I had a normal natural birth and got the 12 weeks since that's what my ob put in the paper work for my leave papers.
