Maternity leave is a joke to me. For me personally I was lucky and not given a set date I had to come back but had open arms ready for me when I was ready and not many women get that. The typical maternity leave is 6 weeks, babies don't recieve their shots untill atleast 8 weeks and if you don't have the option to have a relative watch your children your option is daycare where kids constantly are sick. It certainly puts alot of anxiety on a new mom. Between not wanting that and not wanting to seperate from Roman because I exclusively breast feed I was terrified about how I couldnt contribute to my family and pissed because any money I would make would go straight to day care with maybe some left over. But God has been excellent to me, my boss has allowed me to bring Roman to work with me and allows me to work the hours im able to and I couldn't feel any more blessed. But it still hurts me that not all mom's are as lucky because I know how terrified i was about trying to figure things out.

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

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

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 !! 😣
