Taking Maternity Leave From Work.

I was approched by my boss and her boss
over her about my maternity leave.My due
date changed from 8/19/06 to 08/07/2006
however my doctor doesn't want me to go
into labor because of the incision I had
with my emergancy c-section. All that
said my doctor was to deliver me in my 38
week of gestation. About the 2nd to last
week in july.
Well, this chick here at work is
delivering sometime in may and will be out
her 12 weeks (as will i) but she will not
be coming back before I go out to deliver.
So they actually had the nerve to ask me
to ask my doctor if I could deliver in
august. Keep in mind for my health and
the baby's health I can't go into labor.
Should I start contracting I could
rupture.
I advised them of the risks of I go into
labor and they both laughed and said that
it would be ok. That I can't deliver
before my due date (like I have a choice.)
because the other chick would be covering
me when I am gone and won't be back until
like the middle of august.
I have called my doctor and requested a
medical note to state that why I have to
deliver before I go into labor. (which I
may go into labor earlier never know) but
before I give this to my boss and her
boss, should I go to my .H.R. Department?
Should I advise them of the conversation
that I had with them??? I don't really
know which direction to go with this.
It just angers me off.

Wow, that's insensitive and unethical.
I'd go to the higher-ups and complain,
definitely. I mean, they're telling you
to put yourself in danger so they can have
staff.

the same thing. We will see I guess.

What arseholes! I would go to hr and
tell them. They cannot force you to
stay. Here we can take maternity leave
anywhere from 2 months before our due date
and they can't stop you!
Yes, we get 1 yr off with 55-80% of our
salary plus family allowance once or twice
a month depending on the province! In
quebec we get 2 family allowance checks a
month because we have 2 tax systems.

Shoot better healthcare and overall lower
crime rate, we should all move to
canada...
Actually though in 5 years I plan to move
to coastal maine. Which is a heck of a
lot closer to canada than I am now
(although we've driven there a couple of
times and it aint that bad). Then i'll
sneak into canada and pretend to be a
citizen just for the healthcare!!
:wink:

Lol you guys are too funny....My husband
said that we will just zip-tie my legs
together and keep her in there. Lol
my uncle will look into it if it gets that
far. But I did go to my hr department and
they told me that they would take care of
it. They told me that it was an absurd
request and shouldn't have approched me
about it. And it will be taken care of.
My friend that sits next to me had
already gone to them and advised them of
what had happed. She is the hippa
enforcer here and she said that my right
of privacy was breached because of the way
that they did it at my cubical. I hadn't
even spoken with her about it. So she was
taking care of me before I could take care
of myself. I did get the paper work from
my dr and showed them....Didnt' really
need to but I did just to make sure they
did know why I was going to have my baby
early.
I think that they are on crack or
something to have the balls to do that.
But anyhow......It's taken care of for
now...Until I start getting the cold
sholder from them. Aack don't really
need that.

People are too much! It's hard to
believe that people are that insane and as
a woman she should have better sense...
First of all unless all the world starts
scheduling c-sections then there's no way
to determine exactly to the day when baby
is gonna decide to come. A due date is a
general time line not precise science. I
guess babies just screw her whole little
world up. And in this case since you've
got valid medical reason to have your
baby's arrival scheduled and it's throwing
off their little plan what are they gonna
do, go ask the other chick to schedule her
baby two weeks earlier? What jack butts.
