Did you look into any of this before taking the job? You have 8 weeks until you have this baby. Leave the position now. I wouldn’t let an employer I’ve only been with for a few months dictate my maternity leave

I did some research before accepting the job but didn’t realize the exemption for the states PFML program. I knew short term disability wouldn’t be an option and that FMLA wouldn’t apply. When I accepted the job I was told “we’re a very flexible family-friendly organization and we will work with you”. I guess I accepted that at face value- lesson learned.

I feel guilty applying for new jobs at this stage, knowing I’ll be asking for leave in 8 weeks.
