@xoamanduh, I'm going to email them tomorrow. I don't actually have a office or see the people I work with because I do therapy in clients homes for a Healthcare company hours from where I live so it's so hard to ever know what's going on. is it supposed to be 6w before and 6w after or however I want to do it?
Omg. No. your doctor doesn't even decide that for you and has no say anyway!!!! tell her to shhhhh lol you tell your job you're pregnant and then fill out forms for leave. You are entitled by WISCONSIN LAW up to 12 weeks.
I asked my Dr about that today and she said no!! wtf
By law, even if your job doesn't cover leave, you are entitled to 12 weeks.
I'm just worried because I'm a ftm and starting to get the anxiety of oh shit this is really happening and I feel so unprepared!! I want to go out and buy everything for this baby so I feel calmer but ik I should wiat til after my baby shower but my baby shower is 4 weeks b4 my due date. I'm worried I'll have him early because all my mom's kids where early. I was 5 weeks early and my sister was born at 22 weeks and the rest where taken out early by c section so she wouldn't go into labor.
and as far as maternity leave i think you have to talk to your boss
you can go right to your hospital and ask to take a tour in l&d. they should be able to answer when you should deliver. also I say pack you baby bag and your bad around 30 weeks. or 35 weeks. it'll give you time to make sure what you have in there is really what you want.
I'd say around 30 weeks for the bag and may 25 weeks for l&b tour etc.
