All European countries get wonderful maternity leave and month long vacations from their jobs. We are Americans we feel work is far more important than family. Unless you are working for a large corporation with family leave you are stuck. I hope you have family that can help you during this time!

But I have never been pregnant, so maybe you could do it. Go to your HR and ask them about it, they should be able to give you the best advice.
