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
@shellbell0391, 😟 it's very certainly not fair how they have it set up
Yes it sucks :( I can take 3 months but I won't get paid for 3 months 😭
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

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 bottle...
that's terrible😣 they deffiantly don't take things into consideration which they should
