Re: leave
FMLA eligibility is based on having worked 1250 hours within the past year -- if you've worked that many hours, it doesn't matter that you haven't been there a year. . . the rules are also quite tricky depending on how an employer has defined the "calendar year."

Yes, but not for 'pregnancy' leave, only for urgent family medical care under normal rules.
