Longer maternity leaves for moms of multiples?

Cathy and I had some meetings in NYC last Friday to help drum up some ideas to market and promote our book. We met with one savvy mom of boy/girl twins in her fancy office which overlooks Times Square. During our interesting conversation about how our business interests can synergize, she asked us if we'd heard about how some moms of multiples think they deserve longer maternity leaves from work. We consider ourselves experts on all things twins so we were a little embarrassed that she had to bring it across our radar screens. I just did a quick Google search and read that some moms in a MOMs group in Canada are thinking about lobbying the government to consider making some beneficial changes. We are fascinated by this topic and would love to be further educated on it. If you have anything to share or add, please post it in our comments section on our blog.
