I have Short Term disability through Aflac but I am in FL so I dont know if the same things would apply as the policy varies by state.

My husband and I both have AFLAC. We are different fields of work and have different coverage and riders. We also have very different premiums - my field (education) is considered the "safest" by AFLAC - so I pay a lot less than my husband does.
You have to get AFLAC through your job - so you should check if they offer.

my new job offers aflac and i definitely want to take it...i just dont know yet what the cost will be for me.
Do you have to have the coverage for a certain amount of time before you can receive the benefits?

I have the accident policy from AFLAC ( not the short term disabilty) and it cost me $4.68 for both my DH and I per week.

any disability income policy will have an elimination period or a waiting period. The longer the period the less the premium. They tend to run anywhere from 30 to 90 days before you start receiving the benefits. I think insurance is always important since you never know when you may need it.

FL does not have maternity leave and thats what I signed up for it.

I pay about $11 a paycheck for short term disability.

so you have to have it say a month or two before you get pg and then it will pay? Do you know when the benefits kick in? Is it from the day you give birth?
I'm just trying to plan everything out...if i start the job later this month and get pg in maybe august then i guess i'll be okay?
