I’m quitting as soon as I give birth! I work for the post office I get no maternity leave and no state benefits cause I’m a “federal worker”. On top of that I get no federal benefits cause the post office don’t qualify for it. I’m stacking up so I can spend at least 3 months with my baby before going back to get another job!

I’m so sorry. The last thing a woman should worry about is work and bills JUST after having a baby. This country is horrible. I pray things work out for you SWIFTLY! 🙏🏾

I’m a little pissed to say this but I saw a creator who is a stay at home mom she set up a go fund me they paid off $53k of her family debt n the husband works n she doesn’t. Why can’t we do this for you? Not even just u all of “us” im just upset because wth bro. People don’t know even if it’s $2 that will help. 😭

Yes. Last time I had to go back early. But I got that back pay. This time I filed correctly so my short term and bonding can ran concurrently. I’m out since June. Going back end of November

That’s crazy I did nj disability with all 4 kids and never experienced that. My last I went out at 4 months. Did you speak with a supervisor or disability lawyer?

I’m so nervous to go back to work so soon after having a baby. Did you have to find a daycare that would take yours so early?

Ugh hear me out ladies DO NOT have babies unless you or your partner is 100% financially stable. We are living in hard times! And kids do suffer a lot. I hope things get better for you❤️‍🩹

And they wonder why the birth rate is down. It’s not no abortions it’s bc why are we putting our bodies and babies in these situations. I’m so sorry girl you should be home with your baby

Nj is literally the best when it comes to FMLA. It always comes in at 6 weeks. Then you should qualify for 12 weeks. You have to do your research and fight.
