I’m in some pregnancy related Facebook groups and someone asked “hey mommas when did you go on maternity leave!”
So many women proudly bragged about working the same day they went into labor, how their water broke on shift, how they didn’t take maternity leave until they were in the hospital delivering.
It’s just so insanely crazy that America has forced expectant mothers to work until the last second to try to save up money Cus there is NO guaranteed maternity leave.
Maybe you’ll get 6 weeks off (unpaid) and your boss might give you your job back when it’s up.
Other countries offer 6-12 months of PAID maternity leave , sometimes even for both mom and dad.
But America ? Nope.
