Answer

I went out in Jan 2018 and returned to work July 2018.

Answer

In going back next week (10 weeks) and I’m dreading it but mine has been all unpaid bc the US sucks when it comes to maternity leave. My job tried to force me to come back at exactly 8 weeks, gave me an ultimatum so that’s another reason why I’m having second thoughts about returning. Makes me wonder what type of company/agency I work for. Kind of funny that their motto is “built on love” yea ok.

I’m in the US. I took 12 weeks paid maternity leave. Then went back to work working from home with baby three days a week and in the office two days a week while my mother-in-law watched my son. He didn’t start daycare until 7 months, when it got too hard to work from home with him.
