[quote=Anonymous]You act like an adult, discuss your plans for maternity leave with your manager, and hope for the best. Yes, they may tell you can take only 6 weeks or 8 or whatever. But, as a brand new pregnant employee, you have to be prepared for that. I started my job pregnant and ended up taking 9 weeks of leave. Clearly not ideal. But, that is what was offered and that is what I accepted. I knew frankly that I was putting them out by accepting a job while pregnant and I was thankful to have the job. If you end up taking a short leave, I highly recommend you get a nanny, at least for the very early infant phase. Although most daycares will take kids as young as 6 weeks...it is not ideal. You had to have known all the "risks" (ie, a really short leave) when applying and accepting, correct. So don't whine about it. [/quote]
