Question

What is everyone doing as far as how much maternity leave to take? I just found out that because I work in California  (company is based out of Utah) that I get 4 weeks before due date, 6 weeks after birth and then 6 weeks bonding time. Interested to hear what others are doing. Thanks!

I'm in CA too. Job protection is 4 months for me which I'm going to use all. I'm not taking the 4 weeks prior and trying to work until I go in labor. Even though it's paid id rather spend time with baby girl and hope my husband makes enough money for us (he's strictly commission!) ahhhhh. If not then I'll head back to work since grandma is retiring for the baby. Then I'll take more time off like bonding time before her 1st birthday.

@sarahb518, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount. My company first told me only 6 weeks from birth.

I combined my vacation time with my leave. I had 2 weeks vacation and 3 months leave. I worked up to 39 weeks but she came a week late so I'll return to work almost as soon as she turns 3 months. It's still not enough time 😩

That's exactly what I took. It's the standard time in California that edd will pay for maternity leave
