Working moms question

grace_anthony · January 2011

How long before your due date are you taking off work?

and How long are you all taking off for?

Jenniferk08 · January 2011

I'm working until the week before my due date and then I'm off for 6 months.

EmilyStL · January 2011

I plan to work up until I go into labor. I'm taking 12 weeks off, but I'm a teacher and spring break is in there so it'll actually be 13 weeks. Depending on when I deliver, I may or may not have to go back before the last day of school.

sarag0116 · January 2011

Plan is to work till the baby comes. And I'm taking 12 weeks.

azgrlbride · January 2011

I planned to work up until my scheduled c-section (Feb. 15th) but am considering taking a few days before that simply because I am already so distracted and counting down the days. I will be taking between 12-14 wks off.

erbear · January 2011

I'm working until I go into labor or they schedule my c-section, and I'll be off between 10-12 weeks (depending on when I deliver).

kbugcmommy · January 2011

I am working until I go into labor. I will be taking 6 weeks off.

sciteach104 · January 2011

I plan to work until the day I go into labor! I am a teacher so as of now I plan to take off until the beginning of May and finish the last 6 weeks of the school year with my students. I have the time to stay out until September, so that can always happen!

mamabrof · January 2011

Working till the week before, then off for 8 weeks following my c section.

HockeyWife4Life · January 2011

I am working until I go into labor and will take 12 weeks off after LO is born.

blossomtg85 · January 2011

I am a teacher and I took off starting with winter break and I go back in August.

Lucky_Dragonfly · January 2011

Ithe day I had DS was my last scheduled day before leave. I took off the full 12 wks I was allowed under FMLA. right now I am unemployed. I will be putting alot more effort into finding a job the end of April and hopefully I will have something by the end of the summer when my COBRA plan runs out.

a.graves · January 2011

Until labor and I get 6 weeks, but I am only taking 4.

kymberli00 · January 2011

I planned to work until labor but was put on bed rest. Just released to return next week so hoping then I will take 12 weeks following birth.

Lilleybug · January 2011

Through State disability Insurance I get 4 weeks before and 6 weeks after (8 weeks for c-section), Then Paid Family leave gives another 6 weeks paid. So 16 weeks total. Yesterday was my last day and I will go back beginning of May.

bunnie712 · January 2011

I'm working until I go into labor.

I'm taking 12 weeks FMLA; 6 weeks will be paid by short term disability, 6 will be unpaid.

kiribeckwith · January 2011

I work until the week before my due date. Then I have six weeks off, go back for the last month of school and then have off until the middle of August. Should work out perfect!

suzziq516 · January 2011

I'm taking off 2 weeks before my EDD and will take 16 weeks off after the baby is born.

K&D3 · January 2011

I'm working for another week and a half and I'm taking at least 12 weeks off.

GracieMaeLovey · January 2011

working til my due date and taking 9-10 weeks off.

Mrs.Jocelyn2007 · January 2011

Working until the baby comes, then after 1-2 weeks going back to work. Before you collectively gasp, I'm teaching one class at the university this semester, which meets twice a week for 1.5 hours each time. So I think I can handle it! (Plus my mom will be with us for two months, thankfully...)

Cairnwood07 · January 2011

Im going out a week and a half before my EDD (since there is a 13day waiting period for Short Term Disability). Then I will have 6 weeks, off under STD, and maybe 2 weeks unpaid (for a total of 8 weeks after delivery).

kmh2201 · January 2011

I am going in for a scheduled c-section, and my last day of work is 4 days before that. (So I'll be done working at 38.5 weeks.) With DS, I worked right up until the day before I went in to be induced, which was at 41.5 weeks. Only having to work until 38.5 weeks is going to be fantastic compared to last time!!

I'm taking 12 weeks off (max FMLA), so I want all of my time to off to be when DD is here.

WendyShrief · January 2011

I am working until labor and then taking 12 weeks FMLA leave - 6 weeks will be paid and 6 weeks unpaid.

elleon35 · January 2011

Working until labor/delivery (which will probably be scheduled at 39 weeks) and then taking off four weeks. Thank God my mom lives close by and is retired!
