Today at Pregnancy & Baby we’re taking a closer look at maternity leave.

This is actually a topic I’ve written quite a lot about elsewhere, for a network called LoveToKnow. It’s not blogs, but short articles, and the info they provide on maternity leave is very good. From basic facts to how to get some income during your leave.  Since I’m not up for re-hashing the wheel here, I thought I’d send you to some of the best maternity leave articles over there.

Since maternity leave in the US is seriously lacking, us mamas can use all the help we can get. Some of these I wrote, and some not, but I’ve read them all, and they’re all excellent.
