In the USA there are no mandatory minimum vacation time / maternity leave laws. So unless your employer voluntarily gives maternity leave (fairly uncommon) or you have vacation days to take, you don't get any time off.

In other countries, leave like this will vary. Some countries, like France, require 30 days of vacation for the country's employees. And it offers 16 weeks, up to 26 weeks starting with the 3rd child, of maternity leave. The USA is one of if not the only 1st world nation not to require vacation / leave of almost any type.

What does 'maternity leave' mean?

Maternity leave is a period of time a woman takes off work after (and shortly before) the birth of her baby. This time is sometimes paid and sometimes not paid. The time off allows the mother to bond with her new baby as well as recovering from the birth. The time allowed for maternity leave varies by company and by country. Some places now allow paternity leave so the father can take time off work too.


Do dads have babies?

Dads and Moms have babies between them. The Mom does 99% of the work, but they both claim the credit. The dad's sperm contributes half of the genetic content in a baby. The mother's egg contributes the other half. When sperm meets egg, a baby is produced. After spending 40 weeks in the womb, the baby is born. So basically, the father contributes his DNA, but the mother actually carries the child inside of her and gives birth to the baby.
