I mean I don't know at what economic level paid maternity leave becomes common but there aren't laws guaranteeing it so lower income jobs don't give it as a very hard rule. They'll give you very very limited time off for it but it won't be paid. I'm sure my co-worker could have taken off longer but she makes not very much over minimum wage so every day she takes off is highly meaningful. She put up a brave front all throughout her pregnancy like she just doesn't like not working but I highly doubt she wasn't just covering for it being necessary to work every day possible.
