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!
@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
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!

I will be 41 :/
AF due 29th, anyone else?
Hi all AF is due 29th Sept for me feels like forever away. Has anyone tested yet or when do you plan on testing x
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.
