How long to take off for maternity leave?

ej123

How long are you all taking off for your maternity leave if you are going back to work (or for those of you who already have kids, how long did you take off)?

I can get 6 weeks paid STD time for regular delivery, 8 weeks for c-sec. I keep hearing from everyone that is not enough. I can't afford to take a lot of unpaid time, but I would love to get some feedback from others about how much time you took or are planning to take...
