Maternity leave is taking leave from work to prepare to be a mom.  Everyone’s different when it comes to taking leave. Some women choose to work until they literally go into labor or until their scheduled delivery date (if they have an indication for a scheduled delivery). Other women have to take Family Medical Leave or FLMA early and claim short term disability for medical reasons.  Check out this episode for your “to do” list of reminders of things you should do to prepare for maternity leave.  Also, find out some medical reasons you would be encouraged to take leave before you’re full term.  If you’re pregnant or planning to be pregnant in the future, this episode will help you prepare and remind you to budget so that you can relax when you little one arrives.
