Can someone explain how maternity leave works?

Asked by ItalianPrincess1217 (11979points) August 9th, 2011 from iPhone

Ok, here’s the situation. I was taken out of work a couple months early due to pregnancy issues. I currently get temporary disability from the state. Once the baby is born in a couple weeks, what happens then? My employer doesn’t have “maternity leave”. They just give you whatever ny state allows (which is fmla) and I believe I get 6 weeks off if the birth is natural. Does this fall under temporary disability also? Will I continue to receive a disability check or would it be a totally different thing? I plan to ask human resources about this asap but the lady I have always talked to was recently fired and they’re replacing her. Nobody seems to have much information for me currently. So if anyone has any idea how this whole thing works, I’d appreciate it.
