Answer

I'll be off for over a year in total due to sickness prior to baby being born and then I get 52 weeks for maternity/parental.

Answer

I’m very eager to get back to work. But I don’t want to send my baby into daycare so young 😖

Answer

I was very eager to go back at around the four week mark, but as my son has gotten older I’m less eager. I thought about taking 10 instead of 12 but ultimately decided to take all 12. That being said, I work from home and my son will be home with me so it wasn’t a question of leaving him or not. If you work outside the home and can afford it, I encourage you to take as long as allowed. This time is short and you’ll never get it back. I love my job (I really do), but work will always be there. These babies won’t be babies forever!

Answer

I’m taking a full year off

Answer

I went back at 7 weeks

Answer

I had a csection and am taking 12weeks. I would have took longer but was on bed rest from 34 weeks on so need the income now

Answer

Usually 6 weeks is what your doctor will have to take for a vagina delivery with no problems and 8 weeks for a c-section. I went back after 6 weeks but I didn’t have a choice.
