    I plan on telling them at 20 weeks but I work in an unusual office. I have a strong suspection (and my gut is normally right when it comes to the boss) if I said I was pg they wouldn't renew my contract (when isn't discrimination apparently because it's contract work).

    I think 20 weeks is good becuase I can link it into "now we have had the scan and everything is normal I wanted to let you know"...

    lol i told my bos at 12 weeks with DD as it was a requirement to give 10 weeks notice of maternity leave.

    with this pregnancy, as i dont get paid maternity leave and i work weekend so technically dont see my boss, i keep forgetting to notify them of my pregnancy. lol.... yep at 30 weeks. I will have to this weekend type a letter for them with my intention to stop work in 4 weeks lol

    Haven't told my boss yet and I'm coming up to 13wks. I've not been sick enough that anyone suspects and I'm thinking about changing positions, so I don't want to do anything until I know for sure I'll be here right up til mat leave.
