PFC Private RallyPoint Member5429340<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hello All, I was recently returned home due to a Red Cross message that my wife was suffering from preeclampsia and that she was having an emergency c section. My Chain has told me my Paternity Leave started when the baby was born from the c section. He also has been in the NICU for a week now. Wife is also still in the hospital and on medication for high blood pressure Do these factors affect my paternity leave? When does paternity leave start? After the baby is born or when the wife is discharged from the hospital?When does Paternity a leave start?2020-01-09T16:03:40-05:00PFC Private RallyPoint Member5429340<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hello All, I was recently returned home due to a Red Cross message that my wife was suffering from preeclampsia and that she was having an emergency c section.

You still have to submit the request for paternity leave because it isn’t automatic.<br /><br />If you haven’t been at work, you command can make you take personal leave or start your paternity leave since your child has been born. What exactly is the situation? Have you been off since the birth?Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 9 at 2020 7:17 PM2020-01-09T19:17:11-05:002020-01-09T19:17:11-05:00CPL Gary Pifer5430608<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Focus on your wife and kid.. your pay and leave will be taken care of...Response by CPL Gary Pifer made Jan 10 at 2020 12:02 AM2020-01-10T00:02:09-05:002020-01-10T00:02:09-05:00Katie Essel7644259<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The birth of your childResponse by Katie Essel made Apr 26 at 2022 10:54 AM2022-04-26T10:54:55-04:002022-04-26T10:54:55-04:002020-01-09T16:03:40-05:00
