How long do you plan on going on maternity leave for?

DD1: stayed out for 4 months

This time: Not sure probably 7 months again

I will be using my own time and taking leave w/out pay for the remainder of the time.

What are you ladies planning on doing?

I will take my 12 weeks of FMLA and then I may add an extra week or two of vacation on top of that if I have the days left.

I will take the full 12 weeks FMLA.

I will get paid at 100% of my salary for the first 8 weeks (c/s). Then the remaining 4 will be paid using my vacation and personal time.

Totally off for about 6 weeks, then another 6 working a day or two a week from home. Back in the office between 12 and 16 weeks.

With DS1, I took off 4.5 months.

With DD1, I went back around 5w. It was awful.

This time I will be taking the full 6 whole weeks. 2 (hopefully 3) will be paid (using what remaining sick/vacation I have left), the rest STD. I'd kill to take more but we just can't afford it.

With DS I took 12 weeks FMLA. About 6 of that was unpaid.

With this one I am requesting 14 weeks (we are allowed to apply for up to 4 weeks of additional unpaid leave on top of FMLA). Probably 6 of it will be unpaid again.

With DD, I took 3 mos but worked from home for an additional 3 1/2 mos. No paid maternity leave but I get 4 weeks disability at 60% pay. This is not NY disability but through my employer that provides it for us.

This time, I'm going to try and take the 6 1/2 mos maternity. It will be combination vacation/sick leave and unpaid. It was really hard working from home those few months with the baby but since I was technically home for 6 mos with DD, I want to do the same with DS.

This entire post makes me sad. The US is so far behind in maternity leave.
