When did you tell work you're pregnant?

[blueiris]

I was wondering if anyone has told there work that they're pregnant yet? If not when do you plan to do this?

I'm just not sure when to tell my work,i know my manager will be good about it. My DH wants me to wait a bit longer before i tell work.

I'm so bloated now that i actually do look like i'm much firther along in my pregnancy,being so tired & i worry about the constant nautious feelings. My work shirt makes my belly shape very obvious too.

my boss was aware of the IVF stuff, so knew about the same time i did! she guessed when i was needing to leave work for BT's and wasn't devastated about another failed cycle

haven't confirmed it, but she pretty much told me last week that she had guessed... oops!

ooh ooh BG my heart skipped a beat.

Blueiris, I'm a little bit different in that I'm a cop so due to duty type had to tell straight away. I guess if your jobs poses any risks for you, you should tell sooner rather than later.

The place I worked when I got pregnant with DD knew I was trying to get pregnant so I told them the moment I found out.

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!

[~clover~]

I didn't! Everyone else did!!!
I worked in a small town pub (Pub, primary school & PO small) & a few people knew. Then my boss came & asked me in front of the bar & it was out!
I didn't mind, the only one I was worried about finding out was my boss she was happy, so it was good.

The day before my first scan (I had an 8w scan) - I work in the hospital and so clearing off for 2 hours where everyone can see me isn't the easiest of things to keep quiet about! My boss was on his holidays at the time so I told him when he came back; luckily he was really thrilled and for some reason quite proud, wanting to show me off quite a bit LOL. He's a doctor who does a bit of antenatal work so kept checking up on me and telling me what to do, bless him.

Well a colleague of mine had basically guessed i was pregnant. I told her today & she said that my little bouts of nausea & the fact she noticed my belly getting bigger gave it away. I then told my manager & she was thrilled for me.

I work with my mum & with DS I was on holidays. Mum said she wouldn't tell but couldn't resist & by 10am the next day I had her ringing saying she couldn't help it. I didn't mind though.

With DD, we did IVF & everyone at work knew (same job). I only worked 2 days a week at that stage & happened to be in on the day I had my BT, so work found out about 3 seconds after I got the phone call!

i told work at about 8 weeks.... a lot sooner than I anticipated but I was really sick from around 6 weeks and needed to take time off. They were really good about it!!

I told my boss when I was about 5wks, I wanted to let him know why I needed time off and why I was getting so incredibley moody (high stress job). I asked him not to say anything, but he blabbed it to the other managers, then to my team mates when I was off on annual leave one day. NOT HAPPY! So pracitally my work knew before some of my family did. I made a formal complaint about him to HR, it was not his news to tell people. Plus only being 8wks now, if anything happens I don't want my whole office feeling sorry for me.
