[quote=Anonymous]I would sit down and think about what you can realistically do, and talk to her about it. You can also ask her what she's hoping for, of course, but you need to think about what you can do if you can't meet all of her wishes. Here are some things to consider:

1. How will you accommodate prenatal appointments?
2. What accommodations are you willing to make if she needs them, and what would you instead expect her to take time off for (I would not be ok with a lot of screen time for days on end if nanny was feeling very tired/sick, but I would be able to be flexible about starting late some days).
3. What is the plan if she has to go on bedrest?
4. What is the plan for when she nears the end of her pregnancy? Will you let her work until she goes into labor, or will you need to find a temp who can start on a firm date?
5. Can you offer paid maternity leave of any length? Unpaid? How long before she forfeits her job?
6. Are you willing to consider her bringing her baby to work (I would not be, but some people don't mind)?[/quote]
