Why do pregnant women live on account of their husbands? Are you all from which country? In Russia, pregnant women work up to 30 weeks, and then go on such a maternity leave for about 2.5 months before and 2.5 months after delivery, which is paid with an allowance of 100% of the average wage of a woman for the last 2 years. So if a woman before pregnancy lived at the expense of her husband, then she continues, and if not, then she lives at her own expense. But then, at the end of this leave, until the child reaches 3 years, he has to live at the expense of his husband, yes. In part, the first 1.5 years pay 40% of the average wage. And then - all joke, there are no gardens, what do you do here =(
