A. Yes. An eligible employee is entitled to up to 12 weeks of FMLA leave in a 12-month period. If the employee has to use some of that leave for a covered reason other than birth and care of the child, including a serious health condition related to a difficult pregnancy, it may be counted as part of the 12-week FMLA leave entitlement.
