um in the US it all depends on your employer, I can take up to 6 weeks and use up any of my sick time, but since I will be on summer break (I am a teacher) I don't have to use my sick time, which is what I meant by no maternity leave.

Wow a year, I need to move to Cananda

rofl Christine, I know I'm always surprised when I'm reminded how little time new mom's get in the U.S.!

yes I wish I could afford to be a stay at home mommy, but I actually make more money than my hubby right now, so that's not an option, but at least I get two months and my family will be out to help a little in the fall which will help with daycare costs.
