[quote=Anonymous]Want to add not sure about the ST disability.  The sick leave needs to be taken immediately after birth because it's for the birth mother's physical recovery.  6 weeks is the default for sick leave, but don't need to have a c-section for 8 weeks, just need a doctor's note (my doctor was happy to provide a note saying I needed 8 weeks for recovery with my first, which was an unmedicated, uncomplicated delivery).  Then you can take 12 weeks of paid leave, and then can use annual or unpaid leave after with approval.  Any time the baby is sick or you or the baby have a doctor's appointment during that time you can use sick leave for those hours.  If your partner is also a fed, he should also get 12 weeks of paid parental leave to take within 1 year of the baby's birth, so after you go back to work, he can take an additional 12 weeks.  I also think he can take up to 6/8 weeks of sick leave at the beginning for your recovery (he doesn't have to take that whole time, but can't use the sick leave later because it's for your recovery, not to care for or bond with the baby).[/quote]
