How much maternity leave do I deserve?

Mothers whose child is hospitalized deserve an extension of maternity leave according to the following formula:
Mothers whose child is hospitalized for up to 15 days do not receive an extension to the maternity leave.
Mothers whose child is hospitalized for more than 15 days are entitled to extend the maternity leave in days equal to the number of hospitalization days from the day of birth. (For example: if the child was hospitalized for 20 days, they are entitled to extend the vacation by 20 days).
Maximum extension depending on the hospitalization period: 20 weeks.
The extension of maternity leave due to the hospitalization of the child is not included in the 26 weeks of maternity leave
