    I was pregnant when i returned to work and did not say anything. I was about 8 weeks when I returned.

    It depends what sort of job you do as to whether I would suggest telling them before hand or not.

    Office job - I work for one of the big banks in their head office, in their IT group.

    I should add that I don't have any real relationship with this new manager... she doesn't have any kids so she's not very empathetic...

    I would wait then and tell them when you go back then.

    Because I only do 1 day a week of shift work I am still finding people who didnt know I am preg and I am 30 weeks now LOL.

    Good luck with return to work its hard!!

    I would wait until you go back as they don't need to know until then. If you tell them before then you are more likely to get shafted (even though it is illegal, they can work around it).

    I agree with the others. Unless you can't do the position you are going back to, or special arrangements need to be made, don't say anything until after you go back.
