Count pregnancy leave toward FMLA?

Q: Can my employer count leave taken due to pregnancy complications against the 12 weeks of FMLA leave for the birth and care of my child?

A: Yes. An eligible employee is entitled to a total of 12 weeks of FMLA leave in a 12-month period. If the employee has to use some of that leave for another reason, including a difficult pregnancy, it may be counted as part of the 12-week FMLA leave entitlement, according to the Department of Labor.
