When do pregnant women work until when do they take vacation?

When pregnant women start to take vacation after working, they must decide based on their actual situation.

In fact, everyone’s decision on when to take maternity leave is determined by comprehensive consideration of various factors, including the maternity leave time in various regions, the physical condition of the pregnant woman, work intensity, and family economic status. When do pregnant women work until when do they take time off?

From the examples around me, it varies from work to when to start vacation.

1. Working until within one month before giving birth

1) I am located in Shanghai, my family’s economic situation is average, and my work is relatively easy

When I gave birth to my baby I worked until I was 39 weeks pregnant and went home to rest.

I was still young at that time, and my physical condition was relatively good. Except for a little pubic bone pain in the third trimester of pregnancy, everything else was fine. Everything went well during the prenatal checkup. In fact, there were no problems until the onset of labor.

But my family lives in Pudong, where I set up my maternity leave card, and I go to work in Songjiang, so I usually live in a dormitory. It takes more than an hour to drive from Songjiang to Pudong. I was worried that it would be troublesome if I started working at the company, so I went home to rest a week in advance.

When I gave birth to my second child, I took leave and went home when I was 37 weeks pregnant.

When I was pregnant with my second child, I was relatively old, and the prenatal check-up did not go well. I was anemic during pregnancy, and even fainted and lost consciousness once. I started to have pain in my pubic bone when I was 7 months pregnant, and later on it became difficult to move. By the 37th week of pregnancy, both my family and myself felt that it was not suitable to continue, so I asked for leave in advance and went home to rest.

2) My colleague S

The family financial situation is slightly better than mine, but it is still at an average level. Prenatal checkups and other things went relatively smoothly, and his physical condition is also relatively good. I worked until I was 39 weeks pregnant.

2. Asking for leave several months in advance

A relative of mine, located in Henan, has a maternity leave of 188 days

Usually the physical condition is pretty good, this is the first time She originally planned to work until the last month of her pregnancy so that she would still have 5 months postpartum, but when she was 6 months pregnant, she had back pain for no apparent reason and miscarried.

During my second pregnancy, my waist started to hurt again when I was 5 months pregnant. The examination could not find anything wrong, so I asked for leave and went home to rest. By the time I was 5 or 6 months pregnant, I Go back to work.

3. Resigned as soon as she got pregnant

1) A colleague C

The family’s financial situation is very good, she is a native of Shanghai, she has several apartments at home, and she collects rent Just enough to survive.

I started handing over the job as soon as I found out I was pregnant. After the handover was completed two weeks later, I resigned and went home to raise my baby. I rested until my child was one year old and then found another job.

2) A neighbor

After I found out I was pregnant this time, I immediately quit my job and went home to take care of my fetus. I didn’t dare to move my fetus every day for fear of another accident.

Let’s talk about several factors that affect pregnant women’s request for leave

1. The length of maternity leave

Different provinces in China have large differences in maternity leave time, starting from the shortest There is a difference of more than 200 days from 128 days to the longest period of one year.

Although the state stipulates two and a half months of prenatal leave, the company may not approve it unless there are special circumstances.

Every mother wants to spend more time with her child after giving birth. The more time she takes before giving birth, the less time after giving birth.

If the maternity leave lasts for one year, you can take it two or three days in advance. Months of leave, and there are still 9 to 10 months after childbirth, which is enough.

If maternity leave is only 128 days, 2 weeks before delivery will feel like a lot. If it is much earlier, the child will have to go to work before 3 months after delivery.

2. Family economic situation

In fact, this is something that many pregnant women will consider. After all, most of them are not the owners of mines at home. If there is a mine at home, who wouldn't want to take an early vacation and stay at home to take good care of the baby?

In the first trimester, the sky is dark with vomiting and the hair is dizzy; in the third trimester, the body is heavy and even sitting is tiring. If there is no need to consider the financial situation, I think most pregnant women will choose to take leave early. .

But the reality is that if you can’t just resign and want to keep your job and earn more salary, you can only take your vacation later.

3. Physical condition of pregnant women

If pregnant women are in good health, have no discomfort, and work is relatively easy, they can work until the last week, or even I went to work until I showed signs of labor and went straight to the hospital.

If a pregnant woman has serious pregnancy complications, a history of miscarriage, signs of miscarriage, etc., it is more appropriate to take leave early.

4. Work intensity and working environment

You can go to work 1 to 2 weeks in advance, or you can go to work until signs of labor appear.

Personally, I think one week in advance is more appropriate. It doesn’t matter if your water is red during working hours, but it will be very troublesome if your water breaks during working hours.

If possible, hand over the work one month in advance to make your work easier in the last month;

If not, it is recommended to take a vacation one month in advance.

For example, in service industries that require long-term workstations, it is recommended to take leave at least three or four months in advance.

Work that involves exposure to radioactive substances and toxic substances, work environments with high temperatures and high noise, high-intensity physical work, work that requires frequent bending and squatting, and climbing up and down are not suitable for these jobs. Pregnant women are advised to leave their jobs or go home to rest after becoming pregnant.

5. Ways of commuting

For pregnant women who have to squeeze into the morning and evening rush hour buses or subways to work, it is recommended to carpool or take a vacation early.

When I was pregnant with my first child, I took the company bus. When I was pregnant with my second child, my husband mostly took me to work (I had just learned to drive not long ago and wouldn’t let me drive by myself). I took the morning rush hour bus once. Bus, with a big belly, I waited for three buses without daring to get on. The fourth bus got on, and there were more and more people. I started to have chest tightness, tinnitus, and dizziness. I was worried about fainting, so I chose to get off early. Take a taxi to the company.

In short, there are no mandatory regulations on how long pregnant women can work. You can take leave as soon as you become pregnant, or you can work until delivery. Everything must be based on your own physical condition. Yes, the health and safety of pregnant women and fetuses come first.

According to Article 6 of the "Special Regulations on Labor Protection of Female Employees" passed at the 200th executive meeting of the State Council on April 14, 2012, the time required for pregnant female employees to undergo prenatal check-ups during working hours is calculated as follows: Enter working hours.

Maternity leave refers to the leave benefits for working women before and after childbirth, generally from half a month before delivery to two and a half months after delivery. For those who marry late and have children, it can last up to four months. Female employees enjoy no less than nine months of childbirth. Ten days of maternity leave. (Article 62 of the Labor Law of the People's Republic of China)

This article does not limit the number of prenatal checkups, that is, as long as they are normal and necessary prenatal checkups, they should be included in the working time. It cannot be calculated based on sick leave, personal leave, maternity leave, absence from work, etc.

The state stipulates that female employees are entitled to prenatal check-up leave after pregnancy. Within the specified scope, pregnant women who go to the hospital for prenatal check-ups will be treated as normal attendance. The specific regulations are as follows:

Pregnancy No. 1 -In the 6th month of pregnancy, you can enjoy 1 day of leave per month for pregnancy confirmation and health training;

In the 6th and 7th months of pregnancy, you can enjoy 1 day of leave per month;

If you are in the 8th month of pregnancy, you can enjoy 2 days of leave per month;

If you are more than 9 months of pregnancy, you can enjoy 4 days of leave per month, but 2 days are included in the prenatal leave.

Maternity leave benefits

First, maternity leave, wages are based on sick leave

Maternity leave is certified by a doctor, so wages are paid according to sick leave benefits.

Second, prenatal leave is paid at 80% of the salary.

If you are more than 7 months pregnant and have a work permit, you can take two and a half months of prenatal leave upon application by yourself and approval by your employer.

In some cases where local regulations stipulate that leave must be granted, the employer should approve the leave, and the salary will be based on 80% of the employee's actual monthly salary standard.

Third, maternity leave, receive maternity allowance

Maternity leave includes: 98 days + 30 days (late childbirth) + 15 days (dystocia) + 15 days (for each additional birth of multiple babies) infant), receive maternity allowance. Maternity allowance is a state subsidy to enterprises to pay wages during maternity leave. However, its calculation method is related to the salary base reported by the company at the Social Security Office, so the actual maternity allowance is not equal to maternity leave wages, so there are regulations: Maternity leave The higher the salary and maternity allowance, the simpler it is:

1. If the employee’s maternity leave salary (i.e. the employee’s actual monthly salary standard in the past, the same below) is higher than the maternity allowance, then the maternity allowance It is ok to pay employees according to maternity leave wages. After the maternity allowance is reduced, it belongs to the company.

2. If the employee’s maternity leave wages are lower than the maternity allowance, then employees can be paid according to maternity leave wages first, and then the maternity allowance is reduced, which will be the same as the maternity leave wages. The difference in maternity leave wages will be provided to employees, and the rest will go to the company.

Fourth, breastfeeding leave, for six and a half months, will be paid at 80% of the salary, and for an extended period, it will be paid at 70%.

If a female employee has difficulties after giving birth and has a work permit, she can apply for breastfeeding leave for six and a half months with the approval of the unit, and the salary will be based on 80% of the employee’s actual monthly salary. During the extended period, the rate will be 70%.

The 2017 maternity check-up leave regulations for pregnant employees are as above. If a pregnant employee’s salary is deducted by the employer during the prenatal check-up, the employee can take legal action to safeguard his or her rights. When do pregnant women work until when do they take time off?

When you work until when you can take a vacation depends on the situation.

I started taking maternity leave half a month before my due date. Mainly because during my pregnancy, I was very busy at work and often worked overtime during weekends and holidays. My work ended exactly half a month before my due date. My boss was more considerate, so I let her take my maternity leave. Rest in advance.

There are many pregnant women among my colleagues around me, and most of them take leave until they give birth.

1. If the pregnant woman is in good health and the fetus is developing well, it is recommended to take a vacation if there are signs of childbirth.

Why do you say this? Because maternity leave in most workplaces is fixed, especially in many private companies, which is 3-4 months. If you take maternity leave in advance, most of the later maternity leave will be deducted. For example, if you take maternity leave 1 month in advance, your child will be 6 months old. When I go to work again, I can only rush to work when my child is 5 months old.

One of my colleagues who impressed me the most was having her second child, and her due date was postponed by 7 days. During the lunch break at the company, we were discussing why the baby wasn’t born yet, and whether she should go home first to wait for the birth. As a result, in the afternoon I felt labor pains, so I quickly packed my things and went home. I went to the hospital that night and the baby was born in the early morning.

2. If a pregnant woman is unwell, she can take a leave according to her personal situation.

Of course, when to take leave depends on the physical condition of the pregnant woman. Dingma has a colleague who suffered from severe morning sickness during the first trimester of pregnancy. She vomited even after drinking water. Of course, because it was her first pregnancy, the family paid special attention to it and worried about tiring herself or feeling uncomfortable at work, so I took a long leave when I was 2 months pregnant. I went back to work for less than a month when I was more than 5 months pregnant, and then I quit my job.

3. No matter when you take a vacation, it is recommended to hand over the work in advance

If you plan to take a vacation in advance, for example, the fetus is full-term at 37 weeks of pregnancy, but the fetus is born early, and you want to go home to wait for delivery. For those who are on vacation, it is easier to hand over work; for some who wait until they start taking vacation, it is recommended that after 37 weeks of pregnancy, they gradually hand over their work to colleagues to ensure that even if they are suddenly admitted to the hospital to give birth, their work will not be affected.

I took maternity leave when I was 36+2 months pregnant. To be honest, I took it a little early. I had to take the bus to and from work at that time. My husband and mother-in-law felt that it was unsafe for me to be alone during the rush hour. , so I was not allowed to continue working, so I had no choice but to apply for leave with the company!

In fact, my baby is a "warm baby" because I had no pregnancy reactions during the entire pregnancy. When I went on maternity leave, I was still very agile and did not have difficulty walking with swollen legs and feet like some pregnant women.

There is a little story about the timing of my maternity leave, that is, I suspected that my mother was not my biological mother! The thing is like this, on the day of my maternity leave, I sent a WeChat message to my sister, saying that I was starting to take maternity leave. As a person who has been on maternity leave, my sister told me a lot of experience and theory, and less than an hour later, my mother called me. The phone call came, and she asked me if I had started maternity leave. I said yes, and asked her how she knew about it. My dear mother then said something that shocked me, and it is still fresh in my memory. She said, you Why did you take maternity leave so early? You must have less postpartum leave... Well, I was completely speechless at the time. I replied to her domineeringly, and I said luckily you are my mother. If my mother-in-law had said this to me, I dare not say that I hate her, at least I can remember her for a lifetime!

I have a colleague who works in the finance department. She was very busy in the middle of the year. When she saw that she was due to give birth, the boss was also worried about her health. He reminded the department head many times to hand over the work at hand and take maternity leave as soon as possible. But the work is so tedious, and the handover is still not completely clear! This colleague has a very good attitude and is very responsible. She said that usually the first baby is delayed and the birth is not that fast, haha. She also joked that the hospital is right next to our company. If there is any movement in the stomach, she should be sent to the hospital immediately... ...The result was that her due date was March 26. She was still at work on the afternoon of the 25th, sorting out documents, when she suddenly felt a stomachache...and she gave birth at around nine o'clock that night...and we now call her a "model worker."

I am Dingdang’s mother, and I am very happy to share the joys, sorrows and joys of life with you! I wish you happiness every day and everything goes well!

My wife took leave from work one week before her due date. If I ask why, I can only say that there is no way. 01

Feeling comfortable at work

My wife is from the south, from Wuhan, Hubei. She came to Northeast China and works in the same company as me.

My parents are authentic Northeasterners, and their living and eating habits are purely Northeastern.

In addition, my mother’s cooking is not to my daughter-in-law’s taste, and we have nothing in common with her.

There is another more important reason, that is, my wife is very attached to me, and she feels confident when I am around.

So when my daughter-in-law was nearly 9 months pregnant, my mother came to take care of her. During the day while I was at work, they had nothing to say. I feel embarrassed at home.

Therefore, she would rather go to work with me every day, chat with her colleagues at work, and be happy all day long.

You must know how important it is for children and pregnant women to feel comfortable during pregnancy.

This is one of the reasons.

02

People have to move to be energetic

As long as your physical condition allows, walk as much as possible. Good for children and pregnant women.

My wife can be described as having a flexible belly. When she walks, she looks like a penguin or a duck, swaying.

The office of my unit is on the third floor, and I have to go up and down three times a day. In addition, you can also do some small jobs, compile data tables, send out plan books, etc.

What’s more important is that I can chat with my colleagues in the same room and exchange experiences on pregnancy and childbirth, which can sometimes make me laugh.

So, she must insist on going to work. In the end, I was worried that my child would start working early and I had no choice but to stay at home, so I chose to take off work and took 158 days of maternity leave.

Even on vacation, I walk downstairs for about 5,000 steps every day.

Yang Yang’s father believes that pregnant women should not be “lazy in eating” and should be hard-working, which is good for themselves and their children.

It doesn’t matter when you take off work. The important thing is to maintain a happy mood and enjoy the pain and joy brought by pregnancy.

When I gave birth to my second child, I worked normally during the day, but my water broke at night and I was hospitalized. I gave birth at 6 a.m., and when it was time to go to work at 8 a.m., I called the company leader to say that I had given birth. , I was about to take maternity leave, and my boss was confused: I left work well yesterday afternoon, but how come I was already giving birth when I woke up early in the morning? Why so fast? Most of the female employees in our company are like this, right up to the time of delivery, because the maternity leave is too short. The state stipulates three months, and our leaders have to go to work in one month. Because every carrot is a pit, and one person is missing, the job will be difficult. Once you're done, if you want to keep your job, you have to come back quickly to occupy the territory.

Maternity leave for female employees is a statutory benefit. Regulations vary from place to place, and there are certain differences when taking maternity leave. As for when to take maternity leave, pregnant mothers can decide according to their own circumstances. How to take normal maternity leave?

Generally, maternity leave begins half a month before delivery. The general rule is 98 days, with an additional 15 days for dystocia, and 15 days for each multiple births. There are different regulations for late marriages and late childbearing leave in different places. At present, the longest normal maternity leave I know of in Hainan is 188 days. Chongqing also has relevant regulations that allow you to take leave until one year old, but so far I have not seen anyone actually taking leave until one year old. I think if I take leave until the child is one year old, our leader will be pissed to death.

When do many medical staff take maternity leave?

Many medical staff around me will stick to their posts until the last moment unless there are special circumstances. With busy work schedules, tight department schedules, and working all the time, it is also a good choice to stay active. Furthermore, if you are diagnosed with childbirth, you can go directly to the obstetrics department from your workplace to give birth to the baby. Not a single day of maternity leave is wasted, and you can spend more time at home with your baby. Under what circumstances is it recommended to take maternity leave in advance?

Some pregnant women have special circumstances and need to take maternity leave in advance.

1. Placenta previa

Placenta previa is more likely to bleed. It is recommended to rest more in the third trimester of pregnancy, especially bed rest. Therefore, in this case, it is recommended to take maternity leave in advance to get more rest.

2. The cervical canal is too short

The length of the cervical canal during pregnancy is normally greater than 27mm, and some standards are 30mm. If the cervical canal is too short, there is a possibility of cervical insufficiency, leading to complications such as premature birth and premature rupture of membranes. In this case, it is also recommended to take maternity leave in advance.

3. The work intensity is too high

The third trimester of pregnancy is not suitable for heavy physical activities. If the work intensity is too high due to work reasons, you can take maternity leave in advance.

4. Physical discomfort of pregnant women

If the edema in the third trimester of pregnancy is severe and the physical strength and energy are reduced, and if it is serious enough to cause travel and safety problems for pregnant women, this situation can also be appropriately taken early for maternity leave.

When to take maternity leave should be decided according to the pregnant woman’s own situation. It is not recommended to take maternity leave too early except under special circumstances, and it is also not recommended to wait until the birth is clearly not allowed by the body.

This still depends on your own situation, but from the perspective of being responsible for the fetus, it is recommended to take leave as early as possible. Here are two examples.

A friend of mine, who was 37+5 years old, had her amniotic fluid break that night, which was really thrilling to say. At that time, she was living in the dormitory of the work unit just like me. I had already packed up that day and was going back to my hometown the next day. Who knew that not long after I lay down at night, she called me and said that she felt like she had wet the bed and asked me what happened?

I had just graduated and I didn’t understand either! I said I don’t know. Are you about to give birth? She said, could it be that the amniotic water broke? It was immediately obvious that she was a little nervous, and I was scared too. I said you should call your family immediately

My colleague quickly called her mother and told her about the situation. Her mother said that it was probably because her water had broken. Let her lie flat and don't move around. Let me help pack her some clothes and take her to the hospital.

After my colleague lay down, she quickly dialed her husband’s phone number. Her husband lived in the house they rented, and it was almost 50 kilometers away from him.

After packing up, I supported my colleagues with my things and went to the door of the dormitory to take a taxi. Fortunately, it was just after 11:00 in the evening, and we waited for a short time before we got a taxi.

When we got to the car, we brought an extra mattress to avoid dirtying the driver's car. I asked my colleague to lie down on Weiwei. I also explained my colleague’s condition to the driver and asked him to take us to the hospital quickly and smoothly.

After arriving at the hospital, the doctor checked and said that fortunately the amniotic fluid did not flow out too much. You can wait for the bone suture to be opened and give birth naturally. If the amniotic fluid is too low, a caesarean section is necessary.

After my colleague was settled, her husband also came. The doctor said that judging from the speed at which my colleague opened the bone seams, she might not be able to give birth tonight. My colleagues and husband both said they could handle it and asked me to go back and rest quickly.

It was almost 1:00 when I came back, and things went well with my colleague. At around 16:00 the next day, a baby boy was delivered naturally.

/p>

I remember it was Friday, which day was 38+3. She went to the hospital for hospitalization and had a caesarean section. The doctor checked and said there were no signs of premature labor and it was not recommended to perform a caesarean section so early. Taking into account that the child's own development ability is relatively small, it is recommended that she be carried out for an autopsy when she is ready.

The doctor also said that if you insist on doing an autopsy in advance, it is okay. There are some risks. I must inform you. My colleagues saw it. Risk notification, a bit of a wince. The doctor said that if you are really worried, you can stay in the hospital first and perform an autopsy at any time. However, since you are not the only one in the ward, you may not be able to rest well.

After thinking about it comprehensively, my colleague decided to I agreed to take it home to next Monday for another check-up and then decide whether to have an autopsy.

At noon on Saturday, my colleague said why the child didn’t move much today. Her husband asked if he was asleep? Can you push your stomach to see if there is any reaction? My colleague said that after pushing a few times, there was movement in the stomach, but it felt different from before.

In the evening, the colleague said that usually after dinner, the child is very active, but that night, there was nothing in the stomach. There was movement, and she felt the same kind of stuffy movement when she pushed her belly. The more she thought about it, the more something was wrong, so she and her husband hurried to the hospital

When they arrived at the hospital, when the doctor at the outpatient clinic touched the fetal heart rate monitor to the couple, there was no longer the "dong-dong-dong-dong" sound. Just blah blah blah blah. My colleague felt something was wrong at that time, and the doctor said to do a B-ultrasound and check again

I took the sheet to the B-ultrasound room, and my colleague said that as soon as she lay down, the doctor just wiped the probe back and forth on her stomach. After a few moments, he sighed. Then he said to the assistant next to him: Fetal arrest! My colleague said that when she heard these two words, she burst into tears, and then she lay on the bed unable to get up.

The doctor called the family members to come in and helped my colleague out. After hearing such a result, everyone could not accept it. Although my colleague and her husband also went to the hospital afterwards and asked the hospital why the inspection was correct on Friday, but the fetus was stopped on Saturday? But the cruel reality is that the baby is just one day away from being dead.

On the one hand, the hospital is investigating the cause of the fetal arrest, and on the other hand, it has to induce labor for my colleague. A colleague said that when the labor was induced, she felt like she wished she could die. She blamed herself for not taking good care of her child.

She said that after the induced labor, she especially wanted to hug and see the baby, but was stopped by her family. She said that she would never forget that kind of regret and heartache.

The final result given by the hospital was that the cause of fetal arrest was the umbilical cord spiral. This was indeed not detected well by B-ultrasound. The risk of early caesarean section is also the responsibility and obligation of the hospital, but it is my colleagues who ultimately decide to go home and wait for delivery.

Many people around me gave birth yesterday and went to take maternity leave today.

Tell me about my own experience! At that time, the expected date of delivery was May 4th, and I had a three-day holiday on May Day, so I was planning to take maternity leave on April 30th. It was appropriate to take maternity leave a few days in advance and rest at home.

As a result, in March, I was diagnosed with intrabiliary cholestasis, and I asked for leave the day I was diagnosed.

But I took sick leave because the child hadn’t been born yet and no one knew when the child would be born, so I didn’t dare to use my maternity leave first.

The child was born in early April. After the birth, I went to the work unit to apply for maternity leave.

This is a special situation for me. Many people around me still try to wait until there are signs that they are about to give birth before taking maternity leave. After all, maternity leave has a time limit, and everyone wants to spend more time with their children.

There was even a sign that she was about to give birth one morning, and then she calmly arranged her handover work. Tell your colleagues that you are going to have a baby and you should be busy first. Within two hours of arriving at the hospital, the baby was born.

Of course, when to take maternity leave depends on your physical condition. Even if work is important, as long as your body does not allow you to persist until that time, you must put your body first.
