Question:

I’m waiting till after the first trimester to tell mine as I do not what to have the conversation with them if I miscarry before then. But I do I work with special needs kids and sometimes I am required to assist with children having explosive meltdowns so I have told a few of my coworkers is in the event a child needs assistance for being violent they will step in for me and admin doesn’t need to know my business yet.

Haven’t yet but I’m thinking as soon as I’m showing. However I have a work trip at the end of Feb and I work in the wine industry, so I’m trying to figure out how I get around the “I’m not drinking right now” conversation without spilling the beans!

I ended up telling my direct manager last week because I have upcoming appointments during the workday. I’m also in sales so lots of calls and having him able to cover for me if I am sick is essential!

I plan on telling mine at the beginning of the second trimester like I did with my last pregnancy. Gives them enough time to find cover/ plan for my leave.

I work at Amazon so I waited until I had a positive test from the doctor with whatever restrictions that game with it

I waited until I had my annual review and made sure I was able to secure my annual raise. I told my bosses pretty early as my job can be physically demanding and I knew I may have limitations even before I was able to have my first doctor visit. They’ve been very supportive so far!

I let them know immediately just in case gos forbid anything goes wrong so they aren’t blindsided

They can find out as your belly grows.

I almost let it slip today during my annual review 🙈 I’m planning to tell my boss after my scan at 8w3d, unless I get super sick between now (5w4d) and then - I’m going to need her help to figure out how to tell HR, since we just had a massive company change and no one knows what’s going on lately. I probably won’t tell the rest of my team until the second trimester, since I work remotely so they won’t see me.

If you do anything heavy I would advise telling them when you find out! Like I stock at Walmart I’m 7 weeks and just found out but I told them so they are not working me to hard and I miscarry

I told mine at 6 weeks because I’m very very close to her and she knew we were trying.

I haven't only told those who needed to know that I had certain accommodations. Otherwise I dont plan on saying anything until after the first trimester is over.

I work remote so I can get away with them not noticing. I might wait till 5 months.

I’m going to tell my boss at 10 weeks. I have three appointments the following week and we are close enough that will raise some concern. I’ve also been sort of spacey so I think it’s just better to give an explanation to the person monitoring my performance. I won’t share with my direct reports and other colleagues until I start showing.

i told my managers at 5 weeks. my coworkers will find out when i start showing. i told my managers really because there were a few women at my job who really had it rough with their pregnancies and i was nervous that would happen to me. i knew my demeanor would change significantly.. and in the event i had to call out frequently.. i felt it was important for them to know why. currently 8 weeks and i’m glad they know because i’ve been struggling lately.

My whole office knew at 6 weeks because my morning sickness has been all day and I couldn’t keep anything down. I also have like 9 moms in my office and I think they all picked up on it. My male supervisor asked me if I was hungover 😅😭 poor man meant well he was so flustered when I was like no just knocked up
