Short-term disability / Maternity Leave

I work for a very small law firm and the only benefit I receive is retirement. No paid vacation time, sick leave, or maternity leave. Does anyone know of an insurance carrier you can use for short-term disability and maternity leave? My husband and I are not TTC yet but will be starting in September and we want to be covered. Thanks!

    There are plenty of plans (Aflac, Mutual of Omaha, etc..) that have short term disability that will cover 14, 30 or 90 day leaves of absence-usually at 60% of your salary. Make sure you get it BEFORE you get pregnant!!!!

    Drive by poster here...just wanted to add that most policies require you to have it for 12 months before it will pay out. (Meaning you need to get it a few months before you get pregnant)
    4 years TTC including countless tests, 2 surgeries, and one failed IUI
    Scheduled IVF for April 2013--SURPRISE, don't need it! DD Born 9/7/13 
    Ectopic pregnancy Sep/Oct 2014 ended in surgery, and many trips to the ER
