[quote=Anonymous]DC offers paid family leave. Up to 1000 for 8 weeks. You should be able to supplement that with your earned leave. Also, doesn’t your employer offer short term disability? FWIW, I have had one instrumental birth and one C section and no way could I have gone back at 4 weeks—physically or emotionally. I think your partner needs to get a gig job to figure out how you can stay home longer. Your body goes through MAJOR trauma to give birth no matter how you deliver. Healing takes time. And you will have a needy newborn who will be fully dependent on you and you won’t be sleeping and your hormones will be out of whack. It’s so hard even in the best of circumstances. Give yourself as much time as possible. [/quote]
