I am a federal employee, and based on a new law we finally get paid maternity leave, but only if baby is born after October 1, 2020. I am so happy and grateful that I will have 12 weeks paid this time! Last baby I had to use sick leave, vacation leave, and a bunch of unpaid leave. But I am so scared that baby will show up at the end of September and I will be out of luck! Praying for a healthy, full term baby, but if she does come early, please not before October 1!!! My first baby came at 37 weeks, I will be 34/35 weeks around October 1. Wondering if anyone is in the same boat?
