[quote=Anonymous]I earn a lot of sick leave at my job, very blessed to do so, but between this pregnancy where I had lots of issues first trimester and go put on bed rest, a constantly sick toddler, lots of doctors appointments due to physical therapy, on-going breathing issues, etc., I used up all my backup sick leave - I had like 50 hours! I'm so upset with myself but also know there was really no way to avoid it. I will earn about 10/hr a paycheck, so I'm hoping to recoup some as long as no one in my household is sick... again...

But here is my question - if you were faced with very little sick leave, still have lots of doctors appts you need to go to (I have my glucose coming up which means waiting around in the office), would you consider using your (unpaid) FMLA so as not to touch your annual leave? I'm not really planning on taking the whole 12 weeks, but I know that could potentially chance if kiddo comes earlier than anticipated. I still have 3 months to go with the pregnancy, appts are going to be bi-weekly starting May, physical therapy x1-2/week... I'm just not sure.[/quote]
