I need help I dono what to do!!!!!!! also keep in mind I HAVE to have a c-section.
Try to go through the state to get disability for 6 weeks or longer if the doctor says so. It's better than nothing.
Most company's have short term disability but you pay like 5 to 7$ every other week and that covers maternity leave they pay you 6 weeks for natural births and 9 weeks for c section and if you want more weeks you can get FMLA without pay
