Hey everyone,
Not sure when I will let people at work know. It all really depends how sick I get with morning sickness.
Teaching is a physically draining job so I will have to be very careful not to over-do it. I will probably let them know at 12 weeks - jut easier.
As I am on contract, I will not get maternity leave. Even though teaching is 95% female, the fact that so many of us get 1-2 year contracts makes it very difficult. To get maternity leave, I would have to work another few years until I had earned an ongoing position (where I don't have to apply for my job every year) and I was just not willing to wait for that.
So, here I am. More opportunities will present themselves after I have the baby, I am sure.
For now, I am just going to bask in the glory that I am finally here! YAY!
