Plenty of women work up till delivery and then take 6 weeks off for maternity leave. You are telling me that that short time limits there ability to advance in the workforce? Forever restricting their pay rate through their career?

No, but many women choose less stressful and demanding careers due to having children.
My wife is one of them. She was on an executive track, and took herself off of that track after we started having kids. She has always worked full time, but she makes half of what should would've made, but she would have worked 65+ hours a week and been stressed out all the time.
It's why more female doctors chose family medicine and pediatrics, rather than brain surgery. Easier 9-5 type schedule with little after-hours call. But they also make less money.

It's not just those 6 weeks. Women are more likely to work less and take more time off over the course of their careers.
There's nothing wrong with that and our culture allows and encourages that behavior in women.
Men are supposed to work until the die six weeks after retiring.
