I told my boss (the CEO) early as I had some bleeding and needed to rest up and go to some appointments. He has 3 girls and a 4th on the way so he was great about it.
I told my boss at around 10 weeks. The company was going through a lot of changes, and I didn't know if my going on mat leave would affect some of the decisions made. Otherwise, I probably would've waited a couple more weeks. But it is totally up to you! If you are a bit self-conscious about your belly (though no doubt you're more aware of it than anyone else!) they may well guess anyway...
I told mine almost straight away (manager's only) as sometimes there is heavy lifting involved in my job. I had to make it clear I wasn't going to be risking my pregnancy after this long TTC just to lift a few boxes.
I will tell everyone else at work after my 12 week scan.
My boss pulled me aside and told me SHE was pregnant and would need to cut down my hours....so I told her well actually so am I...so that suits me fine!! I was only 5 weeks at the time. If it hadnt have worked like that I would have told her when I was 12 weeks.
I told work yesterday (7 weeks), as soon as it became obvious that I couldn't hide the morning sickness anymore, and the need to go and see doctors etc. My boss was great, we aren't telling anyone else at work until 14 weeks hopefully!
