What maternity leave for 3 children?

Family
The mother

When you already have two children and a third is on the way, maternity leave is more than welcome.

  • Between the older children to take care of, the fatigue that tends to be more present and the organization to put in place, the need to take a professional break can be intense.
  • It is to meet this expectation of mothers of several children that maternity leave is extended from the third child.
  • From 16 weeks for 1 or 2 dependent children, maternity leave increases to 26 weeks from the third child.

So that makes no sense. They have to offer you some kind of Maternity leave it might just not be through FMLA or paid.

I'm not looking forward to going back either. I start back on the 11th next month. I work from home, but the balancing of work and baby boy at the same time got my anxiety sky high

I go back the 9th but may need to go back sooner if I’m not getting paid. I can imagine that would have my anxiety up as well
