Question of the Week

Did you or your spouse work during labor and delivery of your child?

ABA Journal editor and publisher Molly McDonough writes: "I went into labor while at the office and decided it would be better to wrap up pre-maternity leave loose ends doing final edits with an editor instead of hanging around at the hospital. For me, that was an easy call: The hospital was across the street from my office."

Responses to a Keith Lee Twitter query on this topic included those from spouses who weren't able to take much if any leave or were working at the hospital throughout labor and delivery.

Now we want to hear your stories. Did you or your spouse work during labor and delivery of your child? If you had a do-over, would you do something differently?

Read the answers to our previous question (and see our Pets at Work gallery): Does your workplace allow pets? Do you ever take your pet to work with you?

Featured answer:

Posted by Rachel W: "Yes and yes. We bring our dogs to work every day unless we have a deposition or something similar scheduled in our conference room. For practical reasons, having Cody, my dog, saves me time in that I don't have to take a lunch break to walk him and I am able to stay at work when necessary without worrying about whether he needs to be let out, etc. Plus, the dogs just make our office a happier place. Many of our regular visitors look forward to seeing them and ask about them when they visit the office. Our pets are an important part of our office family!"
