Can men take pregnancy leaves?

There are two types of leave which are often referred to as pregnancy or maternity leave: 1. disability leave, which consists of the time a woman is unable to perform work because of pregnancy, childbirth and their aftermath, and 2. child care or child-rearing leave, which consists of the time after birth or adoption during which a parent (of either sex) cares for the child. Obviously, a man would not be eligible for the first type of leave, but may be eligible for the second, depending on eligibility for FMLA or other legally guaranteed leave and/or company policy.
