Anyone buy their own short term disability insurance for maternity leave not through employment?

We are going to start TTC for #2 this spring/summer. I do not have any paid maternity leave and my job does not offer short term disability. DH and I were thinking of looking into getting my own individual policy soon so I could use it when I go on maternity leave. Did anyone purchase their own not through work? What company did you use and if you dont mind, what is a ballpark figure what I would pay each month? TIA!

    My friend had Aflac with her last two kids. The benefits were enough to cover her entire maternity leave on both and when her son ended up in NICU it covered a lot of expenses insurance wouldn't!! I'm actually looking into  it on the cost part!

    I bought Colonial Pen.  You get a lump sum check, which is a % of your check, plus a payment for each day in the hospital, one for being admitted, etc.

    Aflac is awesome, but you can only get their STD through work.  You should ask your employer to carry it - it won't cost them a thing!
