So unfortunately, in the US I don’t get any time off with my job for maternity leave since I’ve been there less then a year. I do qualify for short term disability once I have my baby that pays me 60% salary for 8 weeks. 8 weeks is not enough time!!! What can I tell my doctor that will get me a doctors note saying I can’t return to work for a longer period of time? Im fortunate enough to work from home so my job doesn’t require any lifting or anything like that. What can I tell my doctor that won’t also require any type of follow up?
