2 questions for you ladies today.
1 -Are any of you planning on a babymoon? If so, where are you going and how far along will you be at the time? I would like to go somewhere in December before Christmas holiday. I will be estimated 20 weeks at that time. I hear 2nd tri is the best time to go.
2- When do you think it's appropriate to let work know about being pregnant? I'm not sure when to tell....all I know is that in my contract it does specify if I have decided to quit I do need to give 6 months notice which seems like a loooooong time. I'm not planning on quitting, just maternity leave. I was initially thinking of letting them know at 20 weeks but thought then maybe that would be "too late" ...?
Also, I graduated yesterday from RE!!!! I was measuring 8w1d and the little gummi bear had a HB of 167. I'm so excited that I've also graduated from PIO- now onto chronic vag discharge from the endometrin x 2 weeks!

Re: ?'s:babymoon and when to tell work
Last time I waited to tell my boss until I was 16 weeks. I didn't tell my coworkers until 20 weeks, when it was obvious that I was KU. This time I will probably tell at 12 weeks. I'm in a much more understanding and caring environment, plus I'm SO SICK so I'd like to give them an excuse for my slacking.
Congrats on your graduation, and on being done with PIO! What a milestone day!

We didn't babymoon.
We waited too long, so around 20 weeks would be good timing.
I checked with HR and they didn't specify a timeframe, so I waited until I was showing. I didn't tell my work until 7 months, but we just acquired a company and I wanted the dust to settle before I made any big announcements.

I have no CLUE when to tell work. Probably at the end of October when I am after the 12 week mark. I am hoping to take a long leave May-November, so they will need to plan ahead and likely adjust my pay for next year accordingly since I will take some unpaid leave.

Congrats on graduating!!
I told work at 12 weeks. I was starting to not be able to hide it already and I just gave up.
As for a babymoon, we are having one, but it was a pre-planned trip to Europe because I'm in a wedding in December. Time-wise it works out perfectly for us, but I maybe would prefer a nice warm beach over the December drizzle of London
But hey, that's a first world problem and I should get over it.

We're not planning a baby moon. There's just too much going on. We went on vaca to FL at 15 weeks so I guess that counts. We're going camping this weekend which is a yearly thing for us. Other than that. I'm 22 weeks and don't want to travel much.
2- When do you think it's appropriate to let work know about being pregnant?
I told work at 12 weeks. I think whatever makes u feel comfortable.
Congrats on moving on to OB. Beware, you do not have as many u/s as with the RE. But they take good care of you. Best of luck!!!!
I think right now maybe i'll tell around 14 weeks?
As for babymoon - I can't stand long plane rides(nothing more than 4 hours) so I was thinking maybe mexico?
