Well if I had more patience and read fine print years ago when I was hired I wouldnt have gotten it lol. Apparently I pay like $4 a month to have short term disability through Liberty Mutual taken out of my check.

So lessen learned when they offer additional coverage for a reduced rate in the future I will pay more attention! If they hadnt have told me I would of just left for this whole time unpaid

I only get paid through shirt term disability. I don't have a second insurance option and my employer doesn't pay unless you purchased the short term policy and I work in medicine.

I'm the same as you, but I can buy up and get 100% of my paycheck, but the cost of doing so is 90% of the amout I would get! I think I'd make about $500. Plus I can't get any additional time off, it's 6 weeks if natural birth and 8 weeks if c-section. I should go back to Canada! LOL!

Lucie, great news on numbers coming down, sorry to hear you are in limbo on your next steps with IVF I'm sure a bit of time to sort things out will make it a whole lot clearer

Brandy, great news on getting 100% cover enjoy these months relaxing as sure when the girls come there won't be much of that happening!

Ali, Fx'd for you if you are doing another test today

Wow you US ladies don't get much time off at all for maternity it's totally different in the UK you are entitled to 9 months statuary cover through the NHS (which isn't much but is something) and depending what your companies maternity pay is (mine is 12 weeks full pay 6 weeks half pay the on to the NHS payment).

Hope all you other ladies are doing well xx

Yeah, I get no paid leave. The only thing that's required by law is that they hold your job for 12 weeks while you take unpaid leave. That said, you can be fired at any time, as long as it's not because you are having a baby.

 

[Sandy83]

Your joking god that is quite scary its the last thing you need when having a baby!!!! xx

 

[MoBaby]

First it sounds like you live in the same state as me!

 

[L4hope]

I definitely think Canada has it right. Maternity leave should be a year! Though uk sounds pretty good too.

L4, How are you and the little one doing? xx

 

[MoBaby]

Ali: how is the testing going?

L4, How are you and the little one doing? xx

Hi Sandy! We are doing good. Little Tre is going to be two months old tomorrow! Hopefully he'll get a good report at his next appt and I can let him go a little longer inbetween feedings. But I'm thinking that might not happen since he's still just a little tike. Just a smidge over 7lbs. He's worth the sleep deprivation though!! It's just hard to do much with him eating every 2-3 hours. I'm not to keen on feeding him in public just yet either. But for now ill just stay home and snuggle my baby boy.

How are you doing? You're taking a break at the moment?

Wow 2 months already where has that time gone!!!!!

I'm doing good, enjoying the break. Started acupuncture and going once a week which I'm really enjoying and also taking a herbal tea so fx'd this will prepare my body for the next cycle. Looking forward to christmas not long now got a few weekends away with DH planned before the holidays so looking forward to those then start next cycle on 11th Jan and ER scheduled for 17th Feb. xx
