When did you tell work you're pregnant?

[kristy lee]

my boss is my step father so he knew straight away as did my mum.
i told them because i wanted them to be aware if i had problems again.
last 2 times i told people about 8 weeks and then got bad news so this time i am definitely not telling work, people, friends or other family until the 12 weeks mark.
i think bosses are very understanding when you tell them your news and do what they can to make your job as easy as possible. well thats what i have found.

I told my work at 12 weeks, but they were all kinda waiting for it to happen sometime cause they knew I watned to be a full time mum soon!

I held off telling people, which was just as well as both my happened around 12 weeks.

DH & I had discussed telling immedate family at 12 weeks & everybody else at 20 weeks (after scans etc - just in case ....) - depending on where I'm working (if I get pregnant again) will decide when I tell them

I unofficially told my immediate manager yesterday as i have to go to hospital to get some tests done (re existing kidney disease) and didn't want her to wonder why taking a bit of time of recently.

today she emailed me my maternity leave entitlements

I work for a really understanding workplace where we're open and v non-discriminatory. However won't go 'official' and open to everyone until 12 weeks.

I told my boss yesterday (11 weeks) as I didnt want to start making up excuses why I needed to go to appointments. He was surprisingly happy for me, I am keeping it under wraps with the rest of work for a few more weeks though I think. Had my ultrasound so it suddenly becomes more real, I am now hoping the initial congratulations will not change things. I hope I'm just being cynical but "office politics" can be unbelievable in some places, fingers crossed for now though.
