Legal Question in Medical Leave in New York

time allowed

How much time off am i allowed off? My wife and I previously had a child and they gave me 4 weeks off. Now they only approved me for 1 week with my new child arriving in 4 weeks. If she has a c-section there is no way she could take care of my 22 month old. could you tell me my rights under the fmla laws.
