Probably not. Most long term disability policies have an elimination period of 3 months or more. You will be considered disabled 8 weeks for a c-section delivery - well short of the elimination period.
Check your policy for the exact elimination period. If something happens during your pregnancy and/or delivery that causes a lengthy disability, then you may be paid a benefit.
Most women of child bearing age find short term disability to be a better overall fit. It offers an elimination period as short as one week - meaning your maternity leave will be a covered benefit.
