Do you know what the maternity leave policy at your firm is? Mine is 3mos unpaid leave, which I think is quite stingy. 😣😣😣

Acc3 - you aren't paying for anything at Oliver Wyman. And if I may interpret your statement as opposition to paid parental leave, I'm glad of it.

Yeah I checked the handbook this weekend after this exchange; its 12-14 weeks paid plus I think up to 6 weeks paid after. 6-8 was 100% pay on short term disability, plus 6 weeks paid parental leave (the latter running concurrently with fmla), and then up to 6 weeks unpaid with the rest of fmla. It's confusing, but I think they have to cobble it together that way because in MA legally they can't offer more parental leave just to women (so they use short term disability to get around it).

The HR person I asked pointed me to the employee handbook and says unpaid for MA. Is it different by state?

4 months paid or 5 months paid if you've been here longer than 5 years. Can do up to 1 year with benefits/insurance paid - last 7-8 months would be no salary.

OP I'm in MA and it is definitely paid - I would circle back with HR (I haven't taken it but a friend definitely took the six weeks paid for paternity)

And brush up on your FMLA language when you talk to them again

Also entitles you to the leave if you're eligible dol.gov/whd/fmla/

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!
