[quote=Anonymous]OP it's probably impossible to predict, if you get a unicorn baby you may be totally fine and he'll feel like he doesn't have as much to do. But it's much much more likely you'll get a normal baby and you yourself will have a normal postpartum - meaning that support will be wonderful. Would you survive without it, yeah but will you be much more happy and healthy all of you if he takes the leave he has available? Almost 100%. It's also an equity issue. More dad's taking leave encourages it within companie and it's important for all. Maybe you won't "need" it as much, but maybe a guy underneath him will have a wife iwth PPD and because you husband takes the leave, he feels like he can as well. My husband took two weeks off, two weeks telework last baby and like another mom said - the transition back to work was ROUGH. granted he was not at home, that would have helped a lot. But he's taking 8 weeks this time fully off and we CANNOT WAIT. Such a relief to know we both will be able to spend time as a family and support each other.[/quote]
