6 months maternity leave, for whom?

The length of your maternity leave will depend directly on the number of children you are expecting and that you already have.

  • In short, the more babies you have, the longer you will be off work!
  • What about the 6 months maternity leave?
  • You will be entitled to it if you are pregnant with your 3rd child, that is to say if you already have 2 children or have given birth to 2 viable babies before this pregnancy.
  • Yes, with 3 children, these few months will not be too much to organize yourself, find your rhythm and fully enjoy this new big family!

*HELP* I am distraught over a work issue. Anyone who can give their opinion or anyone who works in HR or a hospital would be especially helpful! I am 15 weeks pregnant and am a labor and delivery nurse. I am starting a new job in February, and believe it or not, not hospitals just don’t really care if work conditions are safe or not (some still only giving out 1 N95 mask to use til it falls apart, requiring you to remove the mask then reapplying it throughout the shift exposing yourself while caring for COVID patients, etc) and this hospital doesn’t seem like they care too much about safety, but the position I got is exactly what I need and want to further my career, so I took it. I also need to be maskless for an ID photo in front of someone and until I get an ID badge, remove my mask for a photo every time I go in before then. I was supposed to start in January, but quickly told them it would be February instead with all the omicron cases (I’m in New Jersey), and now am considering pushing it off until March now when I will be further along. Working in labor and delivery I see all the bad things that happen to moms and babies with covid, and don’t want to get covid and have clots in my placenta and have a stillbirth or preterm labor. I am vaccinated and boosted but my booster was 5 months ago so it’s probably worn off with omicron. I am thinking about saying I need to have a surgery and suddenly can’t start til March, but my husband thinks this is a bad idea because they will be even more pissed that I start and work for 3 months, then go out on a 6 month maternity leave (the hiring manager doesn’t know I’m pregnant yet). I really want to protect my baby as long as possible but also really need this job and can’t afford for the manager to say “sorry but we chose someone else who can start right away”. Sorry for the long post! TIA!!!

I would say file an EOC complaint if you feel the work conditions are unsafe but I am not sure if you will be able to file one since you haven’t started working …. Something to look into tho

Well I think just caring for COVID patients in general and having to have my mask off for verification purposes might give me covid, so I’m just mostly concerned about whether to try to push my start date back but still make sure they don’t give the position away to someone else
