Preemie Mom-to-be

I had a similar situation when I was teaching. My due date was right at the end of June, but I was out from March on. I was able to talk to the superintendent and he helped me out. My time from March to May when my girls were born was considered medical leave rather than maternity leave. I know that not all districts differentiate, but mine did.

Do you have any personal days that you can tack onto the end of your leave? I know they usually frown at taking them after leave, but maybe in this situation, you can negotiate.

Welcome! When DS was in the NICU the doctors were very cautious about daycare in cold/flu season. Luckily in May you will be at the tail end of that so at least from that standpoint you will have good timing. I would explore a nanny/sitter for the short time you would need coverage if you can afford it. Good luck!
