[quote=Anonymous]If you started a job while you were pregnant (ie gave birth before working there for 12 months), how did you handle parental leave? Were you still offered leave and it was unpaid? Or were you refused leave altogether?

We're TTC and I was just offered a job. I'm not currently working. All the potential employer has told me about parental leave is that eligible employees can take leave under DCFMLA. If I got pregnant now, I obviously won't have been there a year, so I wouldn't qualify.

I'm not sure whether I should ask HR about how they handle parental leave when employees haven't been there a year? Maybe it's what I have to do, but it feels kind of icky that I have to essentially admit to some random HR person that I'm hoping/trying to have another kid in the next 12 months. I don't really want to wait until I start the job to have this conversation, because I don't want to be in a position where they tell me that I can't take leave, or that I have to burn my PTO (which would be a few weeks).
