Check your contract and HR policies before you go to your manager so you know exactly what you're entitled to when you have to take time off. Figure out how supportive they may or may not be from that. Tell them you'll keep them as informed as you can in the lead up to anything happening. Ask them what kind of support you can expect and how you can work together to make it work.
