[quote=Anonymous]Hi All, Just wanted to get some advice. I am expecting in April, my employer offers 16 weeks maternity leave. Unfortunately, my husband was laid off last year and has been unable to find a new job since November. Given our situation, although I am entitled to 16 weeks, we can't financially afford it (it's not fully paid) if my husband doesn't find a new job by April. For those of you that went back to work pretty early after maternity leave, how did you feel, how soon did you return? Realistically speaking with our finances, it be good if I only took a month max..maybe 6 weeks but that's really pushing it. I realize this comes with a lot of challenges but it is what it is with our financial situation. I don't intend on having a C-section but obviously things can happen. Any helpful advice would be great.[/quote]
