thanks for the info trek...even though i've reams of info on the euro countries and maternal health care - i'm still always stunned.
i worked thru month 9.5 (it is 10 months you know) and felt luxurious taking 2 weeks off before - both kids came early so only got about a week w/ #1 and a few days with #2 instead of the full two weeks before. you can get a month off if your doc says so, and only more if you have a medical condition.
we pay $500 month for preschool/child care 9am-3pm for #1 and it was double that cost in the bay area.
guess if everything is affordable it's easier to provide services/care - but if everything is wacked out of countrol - everything else spirals out of control with it too. the higher the costs, the more you have to pay everyone, the more everything costs...
