On May 7, after an induction and 15 hours of intense labor, Andres gave birth to a stillborn baby girl. The baby weighed 8 pounds and 13 ounces.

Andres was told that maternity leave does not apply to people in her situation, but instead is used for people who “give birth and care for a healthy newborn baby.”
HR person here, you don’t lead with that. You lead with “Hey we heard what happened, we’re here to offer you FMLA, take your time in filling it out and we’ll just assume you’re taking the full 12 weeks”. If they didn’t offer it, they super fucked up.
