Can I go on maternity leave early before baby comes? Ohio

Question

I was gonna wait until due date but I’m a head start teacher they closed our schools for the next 3weeks from the carnivorous..

Answer

Depends.. when are you due? Are you taking short term disability or just FMLa? If it’s short term disability you need a medical reason. If it’s FMLa keep in mind you only get twelve weeks for them to hold your position and you may want to use all of that time to be home with baby especially if you go overdue.
