New Job - Should I Disclose?

Question

I'm a teacher out for the summer. I just got hired part time for a summer job at a retail store. I'm only 5 weeks pregnant. Should I disclose to my manager that I'm pregnant? We haven't even told family yet. I have no symptoms that would give me away, so I think I could hide it for quite a while until I start showing. At what point do you normally disclose to employers? I'm planning on telling my principal when we go back in August so we can plan maternity leave.

Answer

I wouldn't say anything to your part time job. Like you said you are only 5 weeks. The only way I would tell your boss at the part time job is if morning sickness kicked in and you were not able fulfill your duties. Don't stress about it and just enjoy! 
As for your teaching job, I think telling them when you go back in August is perfect if that is what you are comfortable with.

The first time around I told my boss at 10 weeks. We unfortunately lost that little boy when I was 20 weeks along. 
I am 9 weeks along now and I informed my boss 2 weeks ago just in case I was little off from nerves.

Good luck to you!!!

Answer

You don't have to disclose anything unless there's parts of the job that will be unsafe for you to complete. I am 6w and have zero intentions of telling anyone at my work for another 6-8 weeks if I can get away with it .
