    I wonder if this whole weather nastiness is also making us extra dizzy. I'm down in southern South Carolina and even here they are calling for an 8* wind chill tomorrow. Insane.

    Counting down the days until my appointments!!! I meet with a nurse on the 23rd and the doctor on the 27th. Hoping the next couple of weeks go quick. On the 28th is my mother in laws bday so we're going to wrap up the ultrasound for her. What a perfect bday present, huh!?

    Thoughts & Opinions:

     

    I work in an office with only 3 of us total (2 designers and office manager). I was originally planning on waiting until my 2nd trimester to tell the designers the news, but now I'm feeling like I want to tell them ASAP.

    I'm pretty close with the head designer. I've only been at my job for 5 months, so I'm a bit nervous at their reaction, but every past manager has had a pregnancy during their employment.

    I'm feeling the need to share the news right away for a few reasons. One, I hate hiding things. I'm exhausted today with wicked dizzy spells, and they have already both told me that I didn't look so good. Second, I was asked to move something heavy today. I don't think it hurt anything, BUT, I know they wouldn't have asked me to move it if they knew I was 6 weeks pregnant. Third, I want to freakin' talk about my excitement at work!

    I know most people wait because there is such a high rate of MC this early in the game. But my thinking is that if I, God forbid, do MC, they would find out anyway. There are only 3 of us. Can't really hide that.

    Ideally, I'm planning on becoming a SAHM once baby comes. But, because you never know what can happen between now and then, I will tell them that as of right now I am planning on returning after maternity leave.

    What are your thoughts/past experiences?

    I'm of the camp that if you would tell them if you MC, then it's ok to tell them now.  I personally only told my boss and HR when I had my MC (because I was on a work trip at had to cut it short, to the great expense of my organization), and I really, really wish that I didn't have to tell them.  It's just so heartbreakingly personal, and I wish only my family and close friends knew.

    If you don't want to lift heavy things, I would just say that you hurt your back so would someone else mind doing it?

    @groxb I also work in a small office. Last time around, I told my boss at about 5 weeks. Honestly it was the best thing for me. When I had my loss, it was nice to be able to take the time I needed off from work. I never shared anything with my coworkers though, they just know that I needed time off for medical reasons. 

    If there are parts of your job that require you to lift heavy things, I'd probably want to tell them too. As far as returning to work goes, "as of right now I plan to return" is a perfectly good answer. They don't need to know anything more than that.

    @groxby My opinion is go ahead and tell (I'm waiting til after my first OB appt), but don't tell them your plans to be a SAHM. First, if they know you're leaving, they may start the hiring process to replace you & if that new person happens to want to start sooner than later, you may be out of a job before you were planning on it. Also, your own plans could change. God forbid your spouses financial situation changes and your family is reliant on your income. If they ask you if you'll be leaving, say your DH and you haven't really discussed it yet since it's still early on. Good luck! And I'm so excited for you that you get to spill the beans! I'm so impatient!

    All this talk about dizziness and morning sickness is making me nervous because I am feeling fine for the most part.  I know it's still early and can be totally normal, but after my loss a few months ago, I'm already a bit on edge.  :-/

    @LM915 It's so hard not to let those worries get to you. Just remember some women are just lucky enough to have no symptoms. It's also still early & a lot of women don't get symptoms for a few weeks. I saw this earlier today & it made me think a lot about this because I am struggling too:

    If sea bands and the go-to saltines, ginger ale, and other bland foods don't work, you can also try unisom and vitamin B6 together. Also Powerade can help, it has B6 as well.

    This. Wore them last pregnancy with #2 as well as zofran and I was able to keep things manageable. My nausea didn't completely go away but I was able to eat. I haven't needed them yet but was just thinking about digging them out. Oh, and I LOVE how stylish they are

    I'm scared about this, too. I had my first child in August via c-section, three months early. If this baby is full term, on its due date, they'll be 13 months and two days apart. This pregnancy was not planned and a huge surprise haha. Talking with my OB about my concerns, and with my sister whose first two kids are 15 months apart, helped a lot.
