The average maternity leave in the U.S. is about 10 weeks, but about half of new moms took at least five weeks, with about a quarter taking nine weeks or more, figures showed.

By contrast, the average stay for a new mother in Japan is six and a half days; in Norway four and a half; in Sweden four, and in Britain three.
