How much time is your DH taking off??

Just wondering what your plans are for how long your DH will be home after the baby comes home.

Re: How much time is your DH taking off??

I think he's going to rotate w/ my Mom and my MIL. He'll take off the 1st week for sure. After that, that's when he'll rotate a day here or there if I really need him home. (We said it would depend if I ended up a c/s too).

DH gets 2 weeks paternity leave that he can use as he chooses. I'm pretty sure he's going to take it all immediately following the baby's birth, but we've thought about splitting it up, too.

Re: How much time is your DH taking off??

Since we know I'm having a c-section and when, he'll be off the day our son is born (Wednesday) and then go back to work the rest of that week (at least 1/2 days) because we don't see the point of him being with me in the hospital when there are nurses and doctors there to take care of us.

He'll be home with me for a week when we get home from the hospital and then again at the end of July.

He's also going to be taking the week off when I first go back to work (mid-September). I think I'll adjust better knowing our son is home with daddy versus in daycare while I'm trying to adjust being back at work.

1-2 weeks, he also started a new job this month, so it would pretty much be all his vacation time

Re: How much time is your DH taking off??

Originally he was planning on taking 2 weeks off, but that would be all of his leave for the year. We decided to have him take off just one week. That way we could go on a cruise with my parents at Christmas.Chat Icon

He's taking off 1 week before the due date and 2 weeks after. His job will be a bit flexible because we all know due dates are 'suggestions'.

Re: How much time is your DH taking off??

My DH will prob. just take off the week I have the baby - and then he will finish off the school year - there should only be about two weeks left at that point - and then he'll be home with me for the rest of the summer. We'll probably kill each other by week two! Chat Icon

Well, we lucked out. DH had just finished off his week as I was sent to the hospital, which was on Wednesday afternoon. Then he was off Thursday, Friday, Saturday and today. He took off the next five days and then he is off again next Saturday and Sunday.

My DH also has a really nice shift right now, he works 7:30am-3:30pm. If I need help or want company I can hang out with my SMIL or my mom who are both nearby, but DH will be home in the afternoons and evenings.

Re: How much time is your DH taking off??

i feel really lucky, because my dh is getting 8 weeks paid paternity. he works for a progressive non-profit that doesn't pay enough, but does things like this!!

Re: How much time is your DH taking off??

2wks but with a house in progress, he is taking every opportunity to work on that so we are in sooner than later.

He at least is home at nite opposed to not with his crazy work schedule.

My DH is a teacher so depending upon when the baby is born he might not have to take any time off
