[quote=Anonymous]Why don't you list your annual leave as an asset? Sometimes offices will only let you take 6 weeks of sick leave. And some offices could care less! But important to know which kind of office you are in. Your second question hinges on the answer to this. Technically I think formally you can take 4 weeks of sick for a vaginal birth and 6 weeks for a cesarean and then you have to start using annual. But in my office this is totally irrelevant and no one cares what you do.

You can always invoke FMLA late. So like, take 12 weeks of recovery and THEN invoke FMLA to get another 12 depending on what your office will let you do.

For number 3, ask your OB. Some will play the game with you and some won't.

For #4 and #5 it kind of has all the same things. When is your baby due? Will they be looking for administrative ways to help or hurt you?

In my office you could be gone for 6-8 months and everyone would be supportive. In other offices I know they would be working to limit you and you'd have to use tricks like taking the full 6-8 c recovery and then invoking FMLA to secure an additional 12. [/quote]
