i have a few questions . i went to my 6 week postpartum check up . everything seemed fine ,but my doctor diagnosed me with postpartum depression . i was just wondering if that falls under californias pregnancy disability leave????? i looked everywhere , but i can't find anywhere what conditions fall under that law. i don't qualify for FMLA since i didn't work 1250 hours this year.
also can PDL be used after childbirth if so how many weeks do we get??? i heard 18 weeks.. 17 weeks, 12 weeks!! i am at a complete loss!!!! i try asking my job , but their answers were vague and said they would let me know after they find out.
heLP!!! :(
more details- i suffered from depression and anxiety since 2008. i was taken off my meds when i got pregnant because my psychiatrist didn't want to take risks knowing the meds i was on could cause birth defects . i was place on prozac 40 mg after giving birth. i was warned i might suffer from ppd.
i was hoping i wouldn't , but it came at me full force :( .
