[quote=Anonymous]I think our maternity leave policies reflect our priorities as a society. As a new mother, it's really hit me that we're all talk in this country when it comes to families and children. I'm very lucky. My employer gave me 8 weeks paid maternity leave (it would have been 6, but I had an unplanned c-section). I didn't qualify for FMLA, but I obtained approval to take 12 total weeks of leave. I used a combination of annual and unpaid leave for the 4 weeks not covered by my employer. I would have preferred 16 weeks, but I know I'm fortunate to have gotten what I did. Personally, I'd like to see the government somehow reward or offer an incentive for employers like mine who offer paid maternity leave. [/quote]
