Anyone else finally find their purpose in this life when they had their first baby …then maternity leave was up and you had to go back to work.. now your right back to feeling so depressed and worthless cause your not with your baby all day ?

Question ! When did u all go on maternity leave, my job doesnt pay the maternity leave i will like to stay till i can but my body be so tired, since i have sleepless night !!!

At how many weeks do you usually put in your maternity leave? I’m not even counting down the day to my due date I’m counting down the days to my maternity leave I’m so over working ??

Anybody have any insight on ways to get some sort of income when on maternity leave (My job is very labor intensive so I will be taking at least 3 months off per my states law)? I don’t qualify for short term disability as I didn’t sign up before becoming pregnant ?

I just started cutting my hours at work. Instead of 5 days a week, I'll be doing 3 days a week. (34 weeks preggo). Would yall do the same if you're starting to struggle getting out of bed? And my other question is when do you take maternity leave? Around 35 weeks or 39 weeks? I did not go this far long with my first born, she was a premie.

36weeks can't breathe, can hardly get up out of bed let alone flip over, not very hungry, nauseous, tired af, can't sleep, Braxton hicks, feet hurting, my attitude sucks, and much more going on. Out of my whole pregnancy I've felt like I've hardly gotten everything together to be prepared for my baby. my job doesn't pay good at all or give me hrs so my fiance is going to have to work hard to cover 2months worth of bills on his own. Maternity leave is going to be a struggle, but I feel disappointed in myself for being so lazy to make easy phone calls for my wic appointment to get my free breast pump and apply for foodstamps. I can't afford to be a stay at home mom so during maternity leave I will be looking for a new job that's pays well and will be flexible with me to be home for my baby. I'm just so exhausted and ik sleep won't be an option when babygirl is here, but I'll be happy to have her home and try my best to be a good mama.

Hi girls. So I just got a new job with great benefits and they offer maternity leave. I don’t give birth until September. Idk what to do. I didn’t mention I was pregnant because I just wanted to secure the job but how do I tell them I’m expecting and I want to use the benefits they offer? I’ve never been in this situation before and I just got hired. Is this going to look bad or be a problem? How do I go about this?

Hello mommas, I have a question I live in California and wanted to know if anyone knows when I can go on maternity leave and if it depends where you work because I’m new to this and need help
