Help! How to announce pregnancy at work?

Question

I want to do something like bring in doughnuts or candy with some cute message. Any ideas? What did you do?

Answer

I did zero announcement. I told my boss, team members and HR. Everyone just found out as it went along because people gossip. A couple people were offended that I didn’t bring in treats. I responded with, “Well if you want to make something...”

Answer

I brought in boxes of munchkins and wrote on the box "please celebrate with me; expecting my first munchkin in December!". Left them in the kitchen and it was a big hit.

Answer

I'm not announcing anything. I told my boss out of courtesy. Everyone else will see the tummy, and won't need to ask. I don't want to open the door to endless questions and advise.

Answer

My boss and I told very few people we were pregnant at the same time. Well, I told her and she told me first. I kept my mouth shut until she said something to everyone. She must have told someone else becasue by the end of the day everyone knew WE were pregnant. We were 6 weeks apart and I had my daughter a week after she had her son (my daughter being 9 weeks early).

Answer

They all knew cuz I was sick as hell 😂 no announcement needed.

Answer

I gave fortune cookies with a custom fortune

Answer

My boss was awesome and I knew I was going to be leaving after my daughter was born, so it was bitter sweet telling him. I didn't do anything fancy though. He was very happy for me and my husband, but bummed that he was going to eventually lose me as an employee. I was part of the management team, so o shared with the rest of them and slowly the rest of the non-management team learned of the news. I didn't openly tell my customers, I just waited till they heard or figured it out lol. I didn't want a ridiculous amount of attention about it while I was trying to do my job, plus it get real annoying quick when you constantly have to answer the same questions over, but it came as the belly popped bigger. Best of luck sharing the news! P.s. the donut idea is adorable.
