[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a third option where you go back before the end of the year but have a little more cushion? You'll need days off available for when baby/you are sick especially if little one will be starting daycare. [/quote]

Yes, this is an option.  I was targeting about 4 months off but I could go back sooner.  I worry that I won’t feel ready after a shorter leave, but I don’t know for sure if that’s true.  I’d be interested how other women felt about going back after less than 4 months.[/quote]

Come on, like 99% of the country goes back after less than 4 months... FMLA only protects you for 12 weeks, regardless of the type of leave you’re taking. Better hope you aren’t too replaceable if you ask to take more than that. [/quote]

Not OP but nearly all white collar professional jobs will allow you to take more time off, it'll just probably be unpaid.  And certainly feds are getting dinged for asking to take off longer than 12 weeks. [/quote]
