Longer maternity leave

Women need more than 6 weeks off of work after delivering a baby. It takes months to recover and bond with the baby, but we are expected to be back right away. You are still recovering at 6 weeks, your body is nowhere near ready to snap back into action. It’s absolutely ridiculous. 6 weeks, countries in Europe get 1 year, paid! Ours is 6 weeks paid or 12 weeks but only paid for 6. It’s disgusting how we treat our mothers. We need longer maternity leave for our new mothers, that is an extremely tough time and companies put too much stress on you to jump back into work.
