yes as this syndrome can cause trouble especially around machinery. But I bet the answer is no.
The sick days would pay more.
Pennsylvania does not have state disability or mandated paid leave. If you have a policy, then the insurance company would pay the claim.
If you applied for short term disability before conception, and your doctor orders bed rest due to pregnancy complications, it is possible that your policy will pay a benefit. Your policy will probably not pay just because you quit your job. There must be a medical reason behind your disability. Once you deliver, you will meet that test.
Your employer could pay you if they wanted to, but it's probably not a smart business move because it sets a precedent. Employment laws require employers to treat all employees equally. If you get paid while on pregnancy disability, all other employees would need to be paid if they were sick or hurt.
To collect unemployment you have to be available for work. So, you would probably NOT be considered disabled to collect under your Disability Policy. For more info check out the State DI and Social Security DI programs.
