    When did you tell work??

    about your pg????
    I'm contemplating telling work sooner rather than later only because people talk at my work and i'd rather them hear it from me than from someone else.
    I'm starting to pop out sooner with the bub than with DD so it won't be long before people start asking questions.

    LOL my boss could tell before me. She was already pg and so was another co - worker so it didnt hit bad.

    But I agree with you...tell them first before the gossip mungers start

    I told my boss when I was 8 weeks only because I'd just started working there just before I became pregnant and didn't know how she would react. I thought if I told her then and she wasn't happy then I'd still have enough time to get a new job. But she was fantastic and basically told me she thought I'd be pregnant in the near future as I was similar age to her and she had 3 kids. Anyway thats just what I did and my reason behind telling her so early.
    I'd be telling your boss before anyone gets any idea and starts gossiping too

    I told work pretty much as soon as I found out, but only because I have had so many troubles in the past.

    With DD i told work at 12wks (well officially) but one of the bosses found out when i had a bleed at 6wks.

    Our workplace wasn't always the friendliest and i wanted to keep it to myself for as long as possible.

    Def tell them before they hear it on the grapevine, but only when you are ready. People get suss all the time cause you are female of childbearing age..

    I think I told my boss at 12weeks and everyone else at 13weeks. I even managed to hide my MS from everyone.

    pretty much as soon as I found out, due to past troubles (went from one preg to another) and a bleed and a really dangerous job
