Chapter 8 pregnancy release?

hi everyone- this may be a little controversial, but I'm considering getting out of the army once our little one arrives....as a dual military couple in the same unpredictable unit I'm concerned about how much time we'll have to put our son in daycare.....like 11 hours a day. ouch.

anyway, what I'm wondering is- do you forfeit your 3 months of maternity leave if you take the out? is completely understand if that was the case but I'm just trying to plan and take everything into consideration.

thank you in advance!
