I did the same exact thing and it wasn’t even an issue. You’re eligible on day 1 for a reason. Dont sweat it. Alert your recruiter and just talked to your PD when you get here. They’ll figure out a plan. I recommend 4 weeks now and 4 weeks in a few months. Split up the time so you can have quality time with an older more alert baby.

That’s awesome you’re eligible day 1. I think we’re 1 year to use the maternity/paternity policy vs short term disability.

Congrats! And would discuss a.s.a.p. You don't want a situation where you were already sort of staffed and make it more difficult for them by telling them later on.
