I know they give you time afterwards that I don't *think* is charged against you (6 weeks or so).
But before the baby I don't think they give you non-chargable leave.
But if you're having problems with the pregnancy that would require you to not work before the baby (bed rest etc) that might be different.
You'd have to ask the chain of command.
If your spouse is military they almost always get 10 days after the baby is born.

Check out this:
Army Regulations40-501 (7-9, 7-10)....Profiling Pregnant Soldiers, Postpartum Profiles.
I have also added a Link for yahoo search that gives other places to check out this subject.
The Army won't kick anyone out for being pregnant, but will do so AFTER if you don't get back to being able to do the PT and such. I know of 2 that this happened to....there ARE Standards that must be followed....

Okay already... you are getting alot of SWAG's.... scientific wild a@@ guesses. The primary regulation here you and need to be concerned with is Army Regulation 600-8-10 (Leaves and Passes).
Under the provisions of AR 600-8-10, you are not authorized any "non-chargeable leave" until after the baby is born. And that leave will actually be convelesant leave as authorized by your attending physician IAW 6 AR 600-8-10, Chapter 5, paragraph 5-7.
Only the post-partum recovery leave is non-chargeable. You need to talk to you attending OB-GYN about a reduced work day if you are having complications with your pregnancy.
There is currently nothing authorizing you and pre-partum leave in any military regulation. Pre-partum leave can be authorized by the unit commander, but is chargeable to the soldier. That is usually by MACOM Policy Letter.

I am a former army officer and just spoke with a recruiter friend of mine and he said that you should be allowed 45 days of NON-CHARGEABLE maternity leave as you are on active duty. He did recommend my first thought that you should check with your chain of command to ensure that you are provided with and follow the proper regulations, fill out the paper work...you know the drill.
Also if you haven't already, you might want to check with your local MSC unit for advice. And if I may offer one additional suggestion, you can always (and you might want to do this ASAP perhaps even prior to contacting your C of C, and I didn't say this!) pull up the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) on the net and see what is says regarding military personnel. The FMLA requires companies (hence I am uncertain as to how it applies to the military...but it is a Federal Law) to provide up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for medical situations. But I'd go for non-chargeable leave first...hopefully it's paid for since you are an active duty soldier.
Hope this helps & good luck and best wishes for a safe and quick delivery.

there's not much information available to the general public addressing this specific issue but this is what i've found:
"Understanding Military Discharges...
...Pregnancy and Childbirth
Women who become pregnant can request separation and you will need to provide proof in writing from a physician. You may be allowed to leave or you could be transferred to Individual Ready Reserve."

only if there are complications resulting from the pregnancy that gets you put on Convalescent Leave.
Otherwise, LIMDU only.
FMLA does NOT apply to military personnel, and the non chargeable Maternity leave does NOT begin until birth.

ther is no leave that wouldn't cout agaist you prior to having the baby. You get your maturnity leave and that's it. If you spouse is in the Army as well, he can get leave after the baby is born ONLY if there is something wrong with the baby or with you due to the delivery. Sorry!

I don't think they are aloud to keep you if your pregnant, not only the danger of the baby dying and you too, but just the loud noises can be bad.

I would hope so. I wouldn't want to here about a lady dying during birth because she was too close to a car bomb in Afghanistan.
