I think my company has a medical leave, which is different from maternity leave, so I don't think my mat leave will be affected. I need to ask, though.
-
It's basically sick leave so it has nothing to do with maternity leave. I was out for 17 days before birth and just had to submit doctors notes to get paid for the sick days I had accrued. (I'm a teacher.) Then regular maternity leave kicks in after that.

With #1, I basically had to quit my job and hope there would still be a spot for me when I was ready to come back after having a baby. I was only managing a coffee shop/wine bar, though, so there wasn't exactly a great HR department. There was only 7 or 8 employees so I didn't qualify for much.
With #2, I was put on modified bed rest toward the very end of my pregnancy, but at this point I was doing marketing and communications for a non-profit and was able to work remotely from home. It didn't affect my hours or maternity leave at all.

I'm on sort of modified bedrest/"take it easy" (not strict laying down, I can do a few things but need to spend a lot of time with my feet propped up) for threatened preterm labor. I'm 27 weeks. I'm an attorney and thankfully I can work remotely so I am working full time remotely from home. So, I don't anticipate it affecting my mat leave. That would definitely not work with every job, however!

I was put on bed rest at 23 weeks and was out of work for 11 weeks before I even delivered. Luckily I work with my family so I was able to take 14 weeks maternity leave as well. I was lucky for sure!
