When to tell @ work?

Question

I'm 10 weeks and we're planning on telling family and friends in the next couple of weeks after we get back all our tests. When should I tell work? There are 2 girls at work that it was soooo obvious that they were pregnant, but didn't officially confirm the news until 15 and 20 weeks. I recently started a new position at work and was just confirmed for full time employment and don't want my boss to find out by the bump. So, when should i tell?

Answer

I told them today at 12.5 weeks.  I have worked there for almost 5 years and was really nervous to tell them but feel so much better now.  They were happy and we will make my maternity leave work

Answer

I am kind of in the same situation as you are. This is my first year teaching for this school district and because I am not tenured they can let me go for no reason at all. I'm going to try to hold out as long as I can from telling my boss. I believe if they lay me off they have to let me know 60 days before the school year ends. My husband and I had no idea we would get pregnant on the first try...we thought it would take us a while, at least into next school year. My suggestion is to follow in your coworkers foot steps and tell him around the same time they did.

Answer

Told my boss today at 11W1D ! He was very happy for me! I've already seen the heartbeat at 6W2D and have another ultrasound next week! I'm happy I told now, feels good that work knows.

Answer

I'm planning on telling maybe just after 12 weeks. But if you are comfortable waiting longer I don't see why not. So fat it's been a little tough to hide the long lunch breaks (drs appointments and blood work) so it will be nice when they finally know so it makes sense

Answer

I told my boss and a close coworker just in case anything happened at work.

Answer

I just told close coworkers and reached out to HR yesterday. We've had two appointments and I'm 12 weeks.

Answer

I will once i get my 1st appointment done. Waiting for after that in 2 weeks. Then have to figure out how.

Im a nanny, and love my job but my boss i know is going to more worry how this is going to effect her then anything else.

Answer

Depends on your maternity leave policy. I told mine this week cause you have to tell them 15 weeks before first day of mat leave. I had problems with a previous pregnancy so am leaving a lot sooner than most plan too. (But my boss isn't a nice person either no congrats or anything just why are you here) so I personally cannot wait to not be there anymore.

Answer

I just told my boss today and I am almost 13 weeks. I just had my 2nd appointment today. I wanted to make sure everything was okay first!:)

Answer

I would take your cue from your co-workers.  If they don't trust your boss enough to tell him before they had to, there is probably a reason.
