Hi - Does anyone know if I can be convered under FMLA even though I work for a company that employyes about 30 people. From what I am reading, I have to be a full time employee - 40 hours a week (which I am) but that there has to be at least 50 people working for my company. Thanks for all your help. I have been on line trying to find the answer, but can't find it anywhere.

You answered your own question - your company employs less then 50 people so you are not covered by FMLA.

This doesn't mean your company won't hold your job. You need to discuss your maternity leave with your supervisor and HR manager.
