Probably not. You may be able to use supplemental health insurance to create maternity leave income. If you work as a 1099 employee, you can get these benefits through a payroll deduction.

Maternity leave for self employed?

Self employed people have a difficult time with maternity leave. If they work in a state with mandated short term disability insurance coverage, they usually are not required to pay into the system - and therefor have no coverage. Private short term disability is available through groups.If you are paid as a 1099 employee, you can get private disability through payroll deduction from your 1099 payor. This is the best route to take.
