6 months maternity leave, for whom?

Family
The mother

The length of your maternity leave will depend directly on the number of children you are expecting and that you already have.

  • In short, the more babies you have, the longer you will be off work!
  • What about the 6 months maternity leave?
  • You will be entitled to it if you are pregnant with your 3rd child, that is to say if you already have 2 children or have given birth to 2 viable babies before this pregnancy.
  • Yes, with 3 children, these few months will not be too much to organize yourself, find your rhythm and fully enjoy this new big family!

This is my third week back to work. I miss my little man, I watch videos of him when I’m at work 😔 they seriously need to revise maternity leave for women. 3 months isn’t enough!

Agreed!! Not nearly enough. And we’re lucky to have 3 months. Most companies are like my last job and only give 6 weeks for Vaginal and 8 weeks for c section
