I wish I had 9 months... that would be amazing.. I can take up to 12 months off but after 6 weeks it would be un paid.. I am thankful I get any paid time off and that I also work from home!

We get 9 months paid leave in the UK so I've had like 4 weeks before she's due (which is today the little madam) and then I've got 8 months at home after. It's rubbish that u only get 6 weeks

My employer gives us 2 weeks prior to our due date and 6 weeks after for a natural birth. I was going to save the two weeks and use them after she arrives but they do not let you do that. You either use the two weeks or lose it. I would like her to wait a week or so at least before she arrives so I can finish up a few last minute things but I don't want her to wait too long as I'm sure I will get bored and I'm already uncomfortable.
