If you start a career at a new company and are pregnant, do you get maternity leave? I know some companies say you have to work at the company for a year

You are not entitled to 3 months maternity leave by law. Unless eligible for FMLA, which you almost certainly won’t be, you’ll be eligible for whatever the firm policy provides. I previously worked for a state government and got 6 weeks medical leave (8 if had a c-section). Find out before accepting and get it in writing. I was told I could take 12 weeks verbally, which was retracted. Also, if you take any unpaid leave, any other benefits you get will almost certainly stop. If I had it to do over again, never would have changed jobs while pregnant.

That’s true, for some reasons I thought it was a law. It should be a law. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Exactly each company is different... you are entitled to 3 months of ML by law, the question you should really be asking is “ Paid Maternity Leave”... Most firms have ST disability that covers a percentage for a certain period. Reach out to HR.

Hmmm okay good to know. Now if you’re covered with paid maternity leave from your employer can you also do short term disability?

ML and STD usually run concurrently so if you are only eligible for 6 weeks STD, standard after delivery, and ML is 12 weeks then you can be out for 12 weeks total. Basically the STD portion is just how your employer classifies the time internally and doesn't change anything for you.

Hi all, looking for advice.

I'm a technical writer with background in the hardware and healthcare industry. What would be a better option for me, pivoting into software tech writing or project management.

If software tech writing, does anyone have advice on how to break into a role or learn what it takes to become one?

Had an FET transfer and just got the news that the pregnancy test is negative. Feeling very defeated about it. All my labs are good (AMH 3.1) and the embryos were PGA tested. Have only two left now, and this was the best quality one. The irony is I did feel pregnant couple days after transfer but then I stopped feeling pregnant. I read that some women don’t really “feel” pregnant until 6-7 weeks… but i did “feel” then stopped. It just sucks. If you have any advice for coping, I’d appreciate it.
