I understand under the FMLA you are entitled by law to take 3 months - but not paid.
Dreadful.

If I am not being too nosy I'd be v. interested to hear from you all about what kind of maternity leave your jobs give.
I work for a British company so they are v. generous. I know American companies can be awful... Keep 'em coming!
Thanks!!!
