Mothers PlanYour partner's having a baby. You have your own paperwork.
Partners forfeit more leave than anyone else, usually by assuming they have none. In the states studied, parents who didn't file left $6,000 to $10,000 per parent unclaimed. Much of that is the second parent's claim.

What lands on YOUR list
Your own leave claim In a dozen-plus states, bonding benefits are per parent, filed separately. Your claim exists whether or not anyone mentioned it.
Your own FMLA check You qualify (or don't) independently of your partner: your employer, your tenure, your hours.
Your benefits windows Your employer's insurance comparison, your FSA election, your premiums during leave, your sick-day reserve for after you return.
The shared operation The leave-stagger decision, the night watch agreement, the hospital-day logistics: planned together, on one timeline.
Your tasks. Your reminders. Not a copy of your partner's list.
Two ways in
If your partner already uses Mothers Plan, ask them for your invite link (it's on their Family & village page); you'll join the same plan and confirm your own work details. Starting fresh? Ten questions build the whole family's timeline, both lists included.
