Before I get started I want to note that I live in California.

Recently I started a job. Not long ago at all but I'm 25 weeks pregnant. I dont know how to go about maternity leave at all I know it's my right but how do I ask for it. Should I take maternity leave a little before I give birth or should I work til the day of. I also plan on moving/relocating after the baby is born which I was told by the hiring manager was no problem. Idk how to do this, advice?
