Can someone please direct me where in FMLA law addresses bed rest and pre natal care visits? Thank you.

  • Dawn,
    I'm looking at WH Publication 1419, Federal Regulations Part 825, on the FMLA. On page 15, it talks briefly about prenatal visits and it appears that it looks at them as intermittent FMLA that is foreseeable and should be made at a time as such as to not adversely impact the workplace. As for the bed rest issue, my feeling on that is that it would come under the heading of "serious health condition" of the mother and should be approached from that aspect. I would request medical certification for it.
