Filing a caregiver claim and a baby bonding claim in the same year? (Pregnant spouse)

Hi all,

I'm trying to get some clarity on my situation. My wife is pregnant and due in a few weeks. She is classified as a high risk pregnancy and will most likely require my care/support after the baby is born due to her conditions.

My timeline would look something like this: Aug-Sep (8 weeks) - Caregiver claim Oct-Dec (12 weeks) - Return to work Jan (4 weeks) - Baby bonding claim Feb-Mar (8 weeks) - Return to work Apr (4 weeks) - Baby bonding claim

My questions are:

1. Is something like this viable? Is there risk in the caregiver claim not being approved? Our OBGYN should be able to sign off on the required documents
2. Is it acceptable to file the baby bonding claim in January when I'm planning to start the leave? I would think I can't file this earlier than when I want to take it based on what I've read.
3. Anything else that I should be aware of?

Thanks everyone for your help!
