Yes! I'm 29 weeks pregnant with my first baby and reading about other first time moms in other countries debating whether to take 12 or 18 months off for maternity makes me want to cry. It is going to be challenging enough for me to take 12 weeks in the U.S.
Days of paid leave offered to new moms around the world:
🇮🇪: 182
🇮🇹: 152
🇩🇰: 126
🇨🇦: 119
🇦🇹: 112
🇫🇷: 112
🇪🇸: 112
🇩🇪: 98
🇯🇵: 98
🇮🇸: 91
🇸🇪: 90
🇲🇽: 84
🇺🇸: 0
It's time we end that international embarrassment and finally guarantee paid family and medical leave in this country.
@annieb1963@BernieSanders Vermont offers no paid leave. Source: I'm a VT elementary school teacher who will be using up all her sick and personal days to be partially paid during my 12 week FMLA leave that starts in January. So if I get sick after returning in April, they will deduct money from my salary.

I'm keeping up with my marathon training schedule despite the fact that there will likely be no marathon. It's especially important to keep your body moving in times like these.
