    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.
