I have no desire to tell my work. When I got pregnant the 2nd time, my manager's response was, "that's not even funny." I wear scrubs to work, so they fortunately hide my belly pretty well. Since I recently miscarried, they assume I am trying, so I know any hint of belly the rumors will begin. Which honestly, I think they have, since I have left early twice for doctors appointments, and I have called out twice.
Plus, they will start hounding me about how much I am going to work when I get back, which DH and I are still trying to decide.
I want to hold out until I know longer fit in my scrubs. I am just wondering if I am not the only one who doesn't want to tell work.

I will be telling my boss when school starts up which will be put me at around 11/12 weeks. I have some questions about how my maternity leave will affect the new NY state teacher annual proffesional performance reviews, so I am going to talk to him about it a bit sooner than I would've otherwise.
The only reason I'm hesitant is because my boss can't stand to just let things go for a while so he immediately obsesses about who will be my maternity leave replacement. Annoying.
I would like to tell work the week before I deliver, but I'm sure that isn't possible.
My boss is freaking out about covering my first OB visit in 2 weeks, so I am sure she will freak out when I tell her I am gone for at least 2 months.
I told my boss last week, but only because she was on to me and knew something was up (maybe it was the tinge of green on my face from all the morning sickness). I wasn't planning on telling her until the end of the first trimester, but she kept asking me what was wrong and I finally gave in. She was shocked and I kind of regret telling her the way I did.
I plan on telling my staff and the rest of my co-workers at around 13 weeks or so. I'm going to play it by ear and see how long I can go before I start showing.

I too am a therapist. I have a caseload of 40 and conduct school-based therapy at 3 schools. I may need to be out sick so I have to make them aware.
This is my 2nd pregnancy:) The 1st went great without a hitch. ( she is now 17 months old.) I told at 7 weeks after the 1st ultrasound.
I'll probably tell next week. I just took a test last night and told my best friend. Will be telling my in-laws and parents this weekend!!
