When did you tell your boss?

Question

Hey there,
​Just wondering, when did you tell your boss that you're pregnant? At how many weeks?
​
​I am planning to tell them at 12 weeks, unless I start feeling very sick before that. I am 5 weeks pregnant, so far only felt slight nausea, nothing that's preventing me from working.

Answer

I might tell my boss sooner. I'm currently only five weeks. I confided in my boss when I had a miscarriage in January and she was very supportive. I think she's getting suspicious now as Tuesday will be second "medical appointment" when I'm not ill!! I think i will also need time off for an early ultrasound. I'm gonna wait until after my midwife appointment on Tuesday and decide then.

Answer

They are looking at me funny now because I am bloated but I'm probably not going say anything until I'm at least 4-5 months.

Answer

Yeah my work is usually not too flexible about working from home, so I might have to let them know why I have so many appointments and can't be in the office. Im more concerned abt the impending morning sickness, I would want them to know why I am not able to work as well, or why I need to work from home on some days.

Answer

I told my boss right away because of my job and the kids can get physical at times.

Answer

Gave up waiting and told my boss today at 7weeks. He was very supportive and understood my needs to work from home on the days I need to go for appointments. Such a relief to finally let him know! Now another 5 weeka before I can tell the world :)

Answer

I told my manager straight away and he has been really supportive. I'm now 7+2 and waiting for the magical 12wks before I tell everyone else. H&H 9 months to all x

Answer

I told my boss straight away. A lot of what we do is really longterm planning, and it would seem wrong to lie about being around next summer :)
​I started this new job only two weeks prior to having a positive test. It's the most amazing opportunity and my boss is like a rock star. 
​The pregnancy was not planned :D
​She was so cool about it, and we agreed not to tell the rest of the colleagues until 12w (or belly being too big)

Answer

I am hoping to tell my boss at 3 months if I can fight the morning sickness.

Answer

Because I'm an RN, I told my manager after I found out at 4w (I'll be 6w tomorrow!). Due to different isolation rooms or diseases some patients have, she had to know so I wouldn't get assigned those patients. Also, flu shots are coming up and are mandatory at our hospital, so I had to make sure she knew I was pregnant, bc I will need a note from my OB if they don't think I should get it.

Answer

I told my bosses right away like 5 weeks because I work in retail and I'm trying to sit down so I didn't want anyone saying anything about be sitting down plus the all kno I had a miscarriage in July. It's just easier for me to tell them earlier.
