Oo, pwedeng magusap with your boss about shortening your maternity leave, pero depende talaga sa company policy at labor laws dito sa Pilipinas, kaya best na i-check mo muna ang official maternity leave rules ng company mo or mag-consult sa HR para makita kung allowed. A few of us moms tried negotiating early return and nakuha namin, pero honestly ang 1.5 months is tight pa para sa baby especially if you're breastfeeding, kaya make sure ready ka physically at emotionally, at arrange na rin ng trusted childcare para smooth ang transition!
