Can someone please confirm if I have my information correct? In CA you can take SDI leave 4 weeks prior to the due date. Then you get 6 weeks of SDI leave after the birth of the child. In essence I can take the full 4 weeks prior and get paid (execpt the week waiting period) and then 6 weeks after the birth and receive payment from the state. Is this correct? Thank you for your help!!

I'm pregnant and wonder if I can file a claim for State Disability Insurance (SDI) benefits? If so, for how long?
Yes. The usual disability period for a NORMAL pregnancy is up to four weeks before the expected delivery date and up to six weeks after the actual delivery. However, your doctor may certify to a longer period if the delivery is by Cesarean section, if there are medical complications, or if you are unable to perform your regular or customary job duties.
