Re: unpaid maternity leave
Im not getting paid and there is no vacation time for me to take since our preschool is closed like a regular school and we dont get paid for that either. Im leaving in April and not going back, if I do, until Sept. I saved a ton of money for this reason and will only get disability.

Re: unpaid maternity leave
I didn't get paid for any part of my leave with my first DC, but I saved up beforehand so I could stay home about 6 months.

Re: unpaid maternity leave
I work part time and am in nursing school so I don't get anything. I'm not even sure I get disability but I'm hoping for that at least. I graduate in May but it would be a miracle if anyone hires me with a prego belly and I probably wouldn't be there long enough anyway. I'm really not sure what we're gonna do but trying to save up some money so I can take 6 weeks at least.

Re: unpaid maternity leave
I just wanted to say that I am truly sorry and absolutely disgusted that some of you have to either cut your maternity leave short or take time unpaid. It is so absolutely UNFAIR! Vent over!

Re: unpaid maternity leave
I had planned on a 12 week leave 6 paid and 6 unpaid. But baby had other ideas and I was out from 32 weeks on. Delivered in my 37th week and didn't go back until she was almost 12 weeks old. Went a total of almost 18 weeks. 6 paid @ reg pay, started collecting disability @ 34 weeks and got it until 8 weeks pp (c-section). The rest was completely unpaid. It was rough but it was worth it for me to be home as long as I could. Plus I had to pay for my benefits out of pocket for the last month...that was a killer.

Re: unpaid maternity leave
I'm using my sick/vacation time so like 2-3 weeks which has to get used first.
then the 6 or 8 weeks disability, I bought the disability plan from work.

Re: unpaid maternity leave
I plan on taking my 12 weeks. I get the state disability along with my aflac payment which will definitely help while I'm out.

Wow, that is awesome!!
I am leaving for a much larger company soon for better work/life balance and the maternity benefits are not nearly as good as what my current small company has.

Re: unpaid maternity leave
I am taking 10 weeks with DS#2
6 weeks paid if V delivery and 8 weeks paid if C so either 4 or 2 weeks unpaid.
With DS#1 I took 12 weeks and paid for 6 since DS was a V delivery and no pay for 6 weeks
But for the paid time 30 days or 40 days depending on delivery are paid from using my sick days
