I also recently found out that I can't take maternity leave only having been at my job since March... I must put in my two weeks when I am ready, and be completely rehired back after baby and recovery from second c section 😰😰😰😰 I'm so worried. What if they don't hire me back, and I have a two year old and an infant and no job. I am terrified about this
Maternity leave Sorry ladies if this has already been asked but when are you guys going on maternity leave? I was thinking about working all the way up until my due date but with my work schedule, I may take it earlier
New Group.. Ladies, if you would like to join the group I created, it's Charting while ttc. Please join our private group . And no TMI photos allowed. Yay!!!!!!
Moms? When do we go on maternity leave? I totally forgot with my first child but I’m so ready to leave work
Need advice : I will be a first time mom in May . I'm taking 2 months maternity leave. I go back to work in July. I just found out that my job requires me to travel in August . My baby will be 3 months old . I have to go to Maui for 3 weeks . I have three options. 1. Leave to Maui and leave my baby with my in laws and my husband for 3 weeks :( ( highly unlikely, my least favorite option especially because I want to breast feed and by the time I get back my baby will be completely used to bottles). 2. Bring my baby with me . My job provides a condo for me and my family. My job pays for some of our expenses I get a type of allowance when I'm there. We would just have to pay for my husband or my moms ticket ( if my husband can't get all that time off work ) and some of our food and transportation. When I travel I get paid double time so it would be nice to get the extra income after being on disability for two months. But I feel like James will be too little to travel and it would all just be too stressful for my husband and I ? 3. Not go. Stay home for three weeks and bond some more with my baby , but I won't get any type of income for 3 -4 weeks. I make more money then my husband. Almost 3 times as much,especially when I travel. Things are tight when he's the only one working. My question is . How hard was it to leave your baby for the first time when you had to go back to work? What would you do? For me I feel like option one is not even an option . I don't care about the money I just have to have my baby with me and he's not even born yet. I'm leaning more towards option 3 but my husband is really trying to be supportive and convince me that we can try option1 or 2. I haven't ruled out option 2 completely because my job has been nice enough to let me take a 2 month maternity leave and they would have to go through the trouble of finding a replacement for me. I want to decided soon and let them know so they have time to find someone to cover for me if I don't go. Any advice. I guess it's harder because I don't know what it's like to be a mom and be away from my baby for a couple of hours, let alone weeks !! 😣

I only get paid for 6 weeks and they take a week of that out of my PTO. And then I only have 3 weeks left of pto so if I wanted to take two weeks extra off I could but then I would only have 7 days for the rest of the year and what if my baby gets sick or I wanna take holidays off or something
