OMG ladies ahhhh !
So i told u bit ago that our job made some new changes and rearranged our benefits etc and now we wont get paid sick day that we used to get b4.
Anyway this new policy starts Jan 1st. And my husband suggested why not i call HR deptt and see if FMLA underwent any changes and so i did and they r telling me that based on the new changes as long as baby comes after jan 1st i CAN get a separate FMLA with 60%pay AND get to take vacation in june
I cant believe it !!!
She is sending me papers now.

thats great bluebooties!! how many weeks will you be on Jan 1st? and how many paid weeks maternity leave will you get with this new plan? its about time they changed the system because the way your leave situation was up to now was awful!!

I am 37 weeks on jan 5th and thats when the MFM is recommending induction.
I am not sure of how much paid maternity leave i am getting. I have to call a third party who is now regulating these for my employer to get further info and forms.
I know bcoz with dd3 (2016) (same employer) i was told i will have to use up all my remaining paid time off i.e vacation and sick leave b4 employer will give me FMLA.
I have had 2 kids in the US and this happened each time.
I cant believe i will actually get to enjoy a maternity leave ... i am still pinching myself to check this isnt a dream ... o i so desperately need some rest thank you God !!!

this sounds like its going to fit perfectly with your planned induction and yes you really do need some rest where were you living when you had your first baby? did you find the maternity leave etc to be better there? im really shocked at how bad and unfair the US system is!!

I was a STHM in a way with my first. I was post med school preparing for my USMLE/medical entry eligibility exams for the US when i had my first so didn't need leave to worry about time off. She was 6 months old when i started my medical job in USA.
