Inaccurate information given by HR to employee regarding maternity leave

My HR representative gave me incorrect information about the Company’s maternity leave policies. I asked this person in April what the paid leave would be and this person outlined 2 policies that would result in 12 weeks fully paid leave. 2 weeks is the Company’s Child Care Leave policy, the remaining 10 are for Short Term Disability. This was explained to me in April both on the phone and later on in a follow up email in June. I just found out recently that this information is totally inaccurate and the length of fully paid leave is only 8 weeks, 2 for Child Care Leave and 6 for Short Term Disability (assuming there are no complications). Do I have any recourse given the fact that it was the HR rep that gave me such inaccurate information months ago and on more than one occasion? As you can imagine, this is very upsetting to find out 5 months later.

Thank you,
