Which maternity leave for a first child?

Your first baby is about to arrive and you're wondering what your rights are in terms of maternity leave?

• First of all, rest assured that you will have a relatively long period of time to enjoy your little one and get used to your new role as a mother.
• For a first baby, your leave will begin 6 weeks before the expected date of birth and end 10 weeks after the baby's arrival, for a total of 16 weeks.
• Note: if your pregnancy goes well, you can reduce your prenatal leave to extend the postnatal period and enjoy your baby more serenely!
