That's amazing! You really are lucky not have to debate staying home or going back. I know after a year of staying home with my oldest, I wanted to go back. Hopefully it will work like that for you! Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy.

i can't even imagine going back to work after 6 or even 12 weeks. Canada sure does rock!

The maternity program up there SO ROCKS. Six weeks here is standard, usually without pay.

The longest maternity leave I ever got, was 12 weeks, 6 weeks at 60% pay, and 4 weeks @ 80% pay (company paid). Then with holiday and vacation time (Christmas/New Year's) I got 12 weeks.
