Here, in the US, I took 12 weeks--I think the first week was vacation/sick days (so regular pay), then I got like 7 weeks of short-term disability (I think it's 60% of your regular pay?), then the rest was unpaid... And I only got the 7 weeks of paid disability because I had a C-section--otherwise, I think it would have only been 5. Maternity leave sucks in the US...
