The answer in part depends on what kind of work is involved and how fit the woman is prior to the delivery. For instance an active athlete may be up after a cesarean and back competing before 4 weeks. I would not recommend that for someone who just sat at a desk for the entire pregnancy and 10 years before that. Also if the job is just sitting behind a desk then there is little to be gained by being off for more than 4 weeks. Check on the Federal leave policy law. I think it requires offering 6 weeks leave for pregnancy for both the Mother and Father. This does not apply to small companies or part time employees however. The purpose of it is so that the parents may have quality time with their newborn and has nothing to do with physical needs of the mother.
