I just found out yesterday that my job is only protected for the time my doctor writes me out on PDL and no more. If i take more time off they can give my job to someone else. Feeling pretty scared to have this child now. Wish they would have explained this when we first talked about my leave. I have only worked for them 8 months by the time baby is due so I understand. We dont have anyone to watch the baby and daycare is 300 a week here. Praying it will all be ok.

Oh wow, that's terrible news! I'm so sorry - you're right, it would have been way better if they'd have explained this to you in the first place so you could have planned it all out better. Good luck to you honey, I hope it works out.
