Opinion Question: How long of recovery should I plan for after birth?

Issue: My due date is beginning of September, and I have a really big trial set to start on October 27th. My thought was to take two weeks off after delivery, then work remotely only on the trial work, then after the trial ends I start my 3 month actual maternity leave.

Am I crazy? Or is this doable?

Hey small agency friends with kids! Quick question. Our agency’s family health care is expensive (ranges from $1700/mon with normal deductible to $1100/mon with super high deductible). If anyone out there (at a small NYC agency) has a better plan and is comfortable sharing, would you mind telling me who your company uses? My kids’ college funds thank you!

Welcome! Hope you’re having a healthy pregnancy. Thought I’d get the ball rolling and ask how much time everyone plans on taking for mat leave?

I had to leave my previous job and I’m currently job hunting, but I just found out on Monday that I’m 4 weeks pregnant. Has anyone started a new job while pregnant? I’m worried about starting a new role and having to take maternity leave so soon after.

Ladies, I commend all of you who are pregnant and lawyering on the daily! I am 10 weeks pregnant and haven’t been working much since I left my firm in March.

If you are still working as a lawyer full time and growing a human it is something to be proud of!
