FMLA - not yet eligible

We have a pregnant employee who is not eligible for FMLA until Nov. 15th. Her doctor has put her on bed rest, effective immediately. This poses 2 questions. Can we legally begin her FMLA now, before she is actually eligible? Or can the FMLA start on Nov. 15th, even though she'll have been on non-FMLA leave for a month at that time?
Thanks!
Thanks!

How do you count the time, rolling backwards or calender year? If Nov. 15th is her hire date, has she worked more than the 1250 hours?
Is it possible for your company to grant an approved, unpaid leave of absence for the 1st month, then put her on FMLA after that?
I don't remember the case. I think I read about it at least 2 years ago. I would have trouble telling you the name if I read about it yesterday, so there is no way I could remember 2 years ago.
Anyone remember the case?
