[quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to plan my exit strategy and mat leave, to give my supervisor and colleagues an idea of what to expect.
For #1 (same org, different supervisor), I worked from home 3 days/week for the last month or so (other two days in office) - DD was a week or so early, so this worked okay and I didn't have any other kids at home, so this was doable.

This time, I have a preschooler, and would like to plan more of a ramp-down (going to use more of those hours at home actually resting/prepping, not working).  Does anyone have experience using straight up sick leave for the last few weeks of pg?  I'll still check in and such, and deal with simple/non critical tasks, but I'd like to just use sick time.  I'm not sure STD (although I have it) is an option without bed rest, etc?  Pretty sure I can get a note from OB restricting me to within 1 hour of hospital or such.

I'm not trying to get out of working due to pg - totally willing to use banked sick and vacation leave - but the more vac I take BEFORE baby gets here, the shorter my mat leave will be (can't use sick time to extend mat leave).

Non-fed.  For various reasons, if I'm totally barking up the wrong tree, I'd rather NOT approach HR on this.  Any other ramp-down suggestions from BTDT moms are also appreciated![/quote]
