California SDI Pregnancy Disability leave? Federal Federal

[johnethridge]

I know according to California's disability laws, that a woman is allowed up to 4 weeks before the birth of her baby and 6 weeks after. My question is, what if the baby comes late, say a week or two?
Does she get paid benefits in this time too, or does she go this extra amount without benefits?

Q.I'm pregnant and wonder if I can file a claim for State Disability Insurance (SDI) benefits? If so, for how long?
A.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.
