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.
