With all of my kids I have taken 12 weeks off. With this baby I am going back to work at 5 weeks to start a new job. It is just for general orientation and then I am hoping that they will let me wait another week or 2 before starting regular orientation. I am feeling a bit stressed about it and just wondering what other people have done and how they have coped. My whole leave is unpaid so it is better that I go back to work sooner than later this time but still....
Thanks Karen

I go back part-time at 12 weeks. Out of that, about 10 weeks will be paid (although not currently because they've messed it up). I'll owe benefits for the time I'm out unpaid and then will owe pro-rated benefits for my part-time period.
Plan to go back full-time at the new year.
