Does anyone understand the federal medical leave act? Im getting a little worried now that my pregnancys are so close together. I was out last august for disability, then sept-dec for my paid leave, then jan-march for my unpaid leave. Im due feb 2nd and would leave in january again. Is this within the 12 month period under fmla or is fmla only the unpaid part? Im in nj too. Please help im confused.
