Nope. Other than FMLA, if you choose to have a kid, you are SOL. I like this, because I don't want to train someone to do a job they'll only have for a few months until the mom decides to come back.

And, let's be completely honest here... If you have a baby in daycare, you're probably gonna get called to come see about the kid every time it has more than 3 runny diapers in a day or runs a slight fever or has a slight rash. And, if the kid gets sick, it'll be the mom (99% of the time) who has to take a day off b/c the daycare won't let the kid come back. (From my own personal experience...)

It is an inconvenience to those you work with to have a policy allowing you to take time off for parental or maternal leave. If you need time off, quit. Otherwise, don't bother me or your co-workers because you chose to have a child.
