[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Won’t you need time for physical recovery right away? I would at least start your leave. [/quote] I’m worried that would mean only 8 or so weeks with the baby. Did anyone work from home during the NICU stay while recovering? [/quote] I don't think there's any reason to believe a 34 weeker will need 4 weeks in the NICU. I can't really understand the alternative to taking leave beginning with the birth - do you think you could go to work for 1-3 weeks, beginning the day after surgery, and then check back out when the baby comes home? You're going to need to physically recover, work on breastfeeding (if you choose), sleeeeeeeeeep and cry and all the other things that come with the hormone crash. Now if the idea is that your work will let you take 2-3 weeks of sick leave to recover from surgery, and then start the clock on mat leave when your baby comes home: yes, do that. Get all the time.[/quote]
