How much maternity leave do you ladies get with your current job? How much time did you end up taking off? And lastly, did anyone save up for this leave knowing there would be income loss? Curious. Might be helpful to state what kind of job (small private practice, large academic hospital, etc? )
I'll start first. I get 6 weeks paid if vaginal or 8 weeks for c-section. The paid leave is at base salary so I lose incentive pay (which I do get). We can use our vacation time to augment this. Planning on taking a full 3 months off. And possibility do a 4th month part time. May not have enough vacation for this. Future hubs and I saving for this loss of income for 2-4 weeks. But for the year I have the baby I lose more since I won't get incentive pay for that calendar year which is significant. I do count my blessings that I get any sort of paid leave though. I work at a very large hospital system that is semi academic.
I live off of my base salary only so would only affect my ability to throw extra money at loans at this point. I am not sole breadwinner either but do make more than him.
