How you deal???

I am starting a new job soon (hopefully) and know that doctor appointments will get in the way, not to mention that 6-8 week absence before/after I have my baby. If you started a new job right after or later after you found out you were pregnant, how did you deal with dr’s appts/maternity leave (or absence from work). I don’t think I’ll qualify for maternity leave either – please let me know if you know what to do.

I started a job end of july being pregnant and all my doc’s appt’s were on Tuesdays..so I would ask for the earliest morning appt and do that then go into work..you may miss a few hours but hey the appt’s are only once a month until you get further along. Plus job’s usually give 1-2 days off a week so ask for that day off in advance and rest afterwards. I started my job part time in july and had my baby beg. of november. Most jobs require you to be there atleast a year before you qualify for maternity leave WITH pay…if under that you still get maternity leave but no pay. Also you have to get a doc’s note to go back to work and that is usually 6 weeks after having the baby. I did good after 3 weeks so my doc gave me a note.
Hope that helps and good luck and congrats!
