I’m from Estonia. Each parent gets 1 month off immediately after (though can be scheduled up to 1 month before due date too, but then you don’t have the month off afterwards
This is followed by about a year and a half worth of paid days that can be used by either parent and the parent can also work at the same time so they double dip
My company laid off 2 people whilst on maternity leave and being a mostly remote company, my coworkers were in different states.
The one in California sued and got a decent amount from the lawsuit. However the one in Texas didn’t see as bright of an ending.
Maternity leave needs to be protected federally, as right now I think only a handful of states have laws protecting employees on maternity leave.
FTFY, why shouldn’t we try to have both parents around while we’re at it.
At least 1 month off for both parents immediately after (maybe some weeks before?) birth. Then 1-1 year for each parent.

Sounds like I’m already in the right country then.
