    DH got laid off the Friday before DD was born so he had lots of paternity leave (ha) but found a contract job after two weeks. DH had to use PTO for any time off when DS was born and took 1 week.

    He gets the 'birth day' for the bebe as a PDO, but if he wants to take paternity leave it would eat into my maternity leave (since our leaves are gov't regulated) With DD he too 1 day off. Water broke Thursday night, he took Friday off, DD was born Sat night and we went home from the Hospital on Monday but he went into the office. Technically he's a sales guy so he can come and go as he pelases, but if you're not working you're not making money! I had my mom and sister to stay with me while he was at work so it wasn't a problem. I suspect he'll take a day or two this time depending on when the baby comes.

    He didn't take any.

    He's self-employed and made sure I had help with I needed it, but he had to leave the hospital for work (we were there 5 days) and would have to leave to work nights from the day we got home.

    Hubs chose not to take any FMLA, but took 4 weeks of vacation.
