California PDL covers up to 4 months (like 17.3 weeks), including the 4 weeks before your due date.
Not in big law but paid leave and bonus probably depends on your firm’s policy.
To clarify a bit, PDL runs through EDD and is based on a determination of disability by your doctor. 4 weeks before your due date is automatically presumed disability, and 8 weeks after delivery is presumed disability for C sections (or 6 weeks for vaginal delivery), but more can be added by your doctor to either end (up to a total of 4 months) if there are complications that prevent you from working. Then after PDL ends, 12 weeks of baby bonding starts. All that can be paid out through EDD at like 70% of your regular pay.
But a lot of employers have separate policies that don’t go through EDD and may have different time limits.
