产假 98 天，生育津贴由生育保险基金按单位上年度职工月平均工资发
There is no cost to you. Your employer handles all the paperwork — you don’t need to do anything.
You’re entitled to at least 98 days of maternity leave, including up to 15 days you can take before the birth. If the delivery is difficult, you get an extra 15 days. For each additional child born, you receive another 15 days of leave. The money paid during this time is called maternity benefits and comes from the maternity insurance fund. If your employer hasn’t enrolled in this insurance, they must pay the benefits themselves.

Original recommendation and evidence
2. Maternity leave lasts 98 days; maternity benefits are paid by the maternity insurance fund based on the employer’s average monthly wage from the prior year.
Cost: There is no cost to you. Your employer handles all the paperwork — you don’t need to do anything.
In plain terms: You’re entitled to at least 98 days of maternity leave, including up to 15 days you can take before the birth. If the delivery is difficult, you get an extra 15 days. For each additional child born, you receive another 15 days of leave. The money paid during this time is called maternity benefits and comes from the maternity insurance fund. If your employer hasn’t enrolled in this insurance, they must pay the benefits themselves.
Benefit: The length of maternity leave is set by the State Council: “Female employees are entitled to 98 days of maternity leave, including 15 days before delivery; an extra 15 days are added for difficult deliveries; for each additional child born, an additional 15 days of leave are granted.” The payments received during this period are known as maternity benefits. For employees covered by maternity insurance, these benefits are paid by the insurance fund at the rate of the employer’s average monthly wage from the prior year. Employees not covered by insurance receive benefits from their employer at the same wage level they earned before taking leave.
Evidence grade: A
Notes: 98 days is the minimum standard mandated by the state. Most provincial regulations on family planning add at least 60 days of additional “reward leave” for childbirth, bringing the total to at least 158 days in most regions. The party responsible for paying wages during this reward leave varies by province.

2. 产假 98 天，生育津贴由生育保险基金按单位上年度职工月平均工资发
成本: 不花钱。由单位去申报，你自己不用跑
说人话: 生孩子至少能休 98 天产假，其中产前可以先休 15 天。难产再加 15 天。每多生一个孩子，也再加 15 天。这段时间发的钱叫生育津贴，由生育保险基金出。单位没给你上生育保险的，就由单位自己发。
收益: 产假天数由国务院规定。「女职工生育享受 98 天产假，其中产前可以休假 15 天；难产的，增加产假 15 天；生育多胞胎的，每多生育 1 个婴儿，增加产假 15 天。」产假期间拿的钱叫生育津贴。已经参加生育保险的，「按照用人单位上年度职工月平均工资的标准由生育保险基金支付」。没参保的，由用人单位按你产假前的工资标准发给你

备注: 98 天是国家定的最低标准。各省的人口与计划生育条例普遍还要再加 60 天以上的生育奖励假，加起来通常是 158 天起。奖励假这段时间的工资由哪一方出，各省规定不一样
