If the employee is eligible for state disability insurance (SDI), and their health care provider deems them disabled by pregnancy, childbirth or other related medical condition, they may receive SDI benefits. For SDI, disabilities arising from pregnancy, childbirth and related medical conditions are classified the same as any other temporary disability.
For a normal pregnancy, the usual disability period is up to four weeks before the expected delivery date and up to six weeks after the actual delivery. However, their doctor may certify that they are disabled for a longer period before or after the expected delivery if the delivery is a Cesarean section, if there are medical complications, or if they are unable to perform their regular or customary job duties.
Moreover, it is clear under California pregnancy disability leave (PDL) regulations that PDL includes, but is not limited to, time off for prenatal or postnatal medical appointments, doctor-ordered bed rest, severe “morning sickness,” gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, preeclampsia, recovery from childbirth or loss or end of pregnancy, and/or post-partum depression.
