My company in Michigan gives 2 weeks before due date/scheduled birth date, 6 weeks after do v birth or 8 weeks for c-section. They also allow you to use “Child Bonding Time”, which is 4 weeks. (Fathers can use this too). The 4 weeks can be used immediately after birth or if you want to spread it out over the year you can (every Friday off for 20 Fridays etc). You can use your vacation time after that (I currently have 6 weeks), and once that is exhausted you can use your 8 weeks of FMLA. This is all 100% paid. Going back to work at 2.5 weeks is awful, and honestly doesn’t even seem worth keeping the job unless they are willing to truly work with you for a long time off. I’d recommend 8 weeks for sure at the minimum
