Any pregnant teachers out there?

Are any of you teachers and due at the beginning of the next school year? what are your leave plans?

I will be 36 weeks at the start of the school year in August. my due date is September 3rd, probably a csection but might "push" for a vbac.

I'm just thinking ahead and trying to plan my pregnancy disability leave and baby bonding leave so I'm curious if anyone else is in the same boat.

With my first, the principal decided it was best to keep me in the office for liability reasons and I just made copies or whatever they needed. I was never assigned a class. For reference the due date was Sept 1, and I was a culinary arts teacher in a high school.

Yes me! Due Sept 6th but will have a scheduled C around 38-39 weeks. So basically right as school is going back. I’m so stressed about getting plans done and turned in before leave.

I'm a teacher too! I actually teach online now and keep my 3 kiddos at home with me, but I had my first when I was teaching 7th grade science at a brick and mortar campus. I didn't take any leave until I had my son and then took the full twelve weeks. My son is a February baby, so I ended up taking off through summer break and then I found a job with an online school. This time, I'm going to take off as soon as this baby is born and will be off for twelve weeks. I think I'll be back right before our December break. Do you get a longer leave where you're at? We always are allowed to take 12 weeks, so that's all I've ever taken. 😅 I really wanted another spring baby with time, but we ended up with a September due date!
