Hi all, just a general question. If you have a husband/partner, how long will he/she ( Im sooo politically correct!) be taking off work. Are you expecting a vaginal or caesarian birth? Thanks in advance:)

How cool is that! Its only because for the two weeks they cant do without him as theres only him in the office that can do is job, but its still pretty sweet nevertheless! x

I then had family come stay with me for a week :) He did the same for all three kids ~ had both sections and vbac ~

carmendayle - 104 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I'm not exactly sure for were your located, but I know in some states, the partner can also get family medical leave and that can be up to 12 months but no pay. It depends on were they work in how many days they may give off paid if any at all. This is only what I've learned by looking into it myself. My hubby will not be getting paid for his leave, and will only take a few days off, like 3 or 4. I don't think they usually give a hard time if it's only a bit of time though?? Just depends. SOrry not more informal, but I hope it helps some.
