Hi Grake,

Congrats to you and I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy

You should be able to approach your boss if he or she is a decent one, and discuss your concerns in a private conversation. Provided you dont tell anyone else, you will have only one source for it to get out iykwim...

I am obviously not aware of your situation or past medical issues but just also wanted to say I have ridden in a few planes, a military hellicopter (with my legs dangling out the back...very cool) and taken a looong road trip in this pg. Having said that I have not had a mc and dont pretend to know what it is like...

You have to do what is right for you and no one can imagine your particular position so maybe just consider:

If you think the trips will be only be every now and then, maybe consider going on the next one just to keep the secret a little longer?

Do you really want to start saying no to your job duties now at 6 weeks? I have worked with a few ppl who opt not to do their job description due to pregnancy and everyone (whether they should or shouldnt) gets a bit sick of it. Its a looong 9 months for everyone involved.

Good luck with your decision and once again congrats
