Answer

I have already told him one because I'm at a higher risk and two I'm a CNA in a nursing home. I'm also really bad at keeping secrets so I'm pretty sure everyone on my shift will know before 12 weeks plus if anything goes wrong they will find out anyway.

Answer

Depends if you lift Heavy things or not

Answer

I told my boss right after it was confirmed from my OB. I work with children who have autism and one of my clients have high aggressions. My OB states that I should eventually move off of the aggressive client cases, but it takes time to be removed from a case. I felt obligated to give my boss time to remove me and find a replacement from that client.

Answer

I had to tell my boss ASAP due to the current covid situation so she was able to change my duties slightly to avoid me coming into contact with the general public. She was actually the second person to find out after my husband. I also had to tell one coworker as it got really awkward one day when I had to refuse to do something for her. They are the only 2 at work that know though and I trust them both. 
I’m hoping to wait to tell my other coworkers but there may be questions about why I’m in the ‘at risk / suppressed immunity’ group of staff when I wasn’t before. I think they’ll figure it out but most will be too polite to say anything.

Answer

I’m personally telling my boss and coworkers ASAP. But that is because of my job. I do a bit of heavy lifting and I am constantly around x ray machines and c arms. I work in the operating room and I am over of urology surgeries. I am waiting to tell family though but I don’t want to compromise my child

Answer

If you have a good relationship with your boss then whenever you want to tell them is up to you. I have a full time desk job and have had one baby already so I know the drill at my work. During my last pregnancy I was also working part time at a brewery and as I got to my 3rd tri it was hard for me to do things- lift kegs and such - so I quite but again it was part time and wasnt really needed.
