Officially "out" at work!

I'm 16 weeks along and finally got a chance to talk to my boss in person and tell her that I'm pregnant. I had been putting it off a little bit because I find it so awkward to have the "I'm pregnant" conversation, but people have been starting to look at my growing belly so I figured I better come out with it! She was happy for me and gave me a big hug, so that was nice. The bonus is, I also mentioned that I'm considering coming back at 3 days a week instead of 5, which she said would be completely fine, so I'm really able to start thinking about the possibility of switching to part-time!

Also, DD turned 2 today. It's been a good day! :)

 

Re: Officially "out" at work!

  • Congrats. I told my boss and my coworkers last week. Apparently not too soon as I have had strangers commenting on my "bump"
  • Congrats!!!

  • I have also 'confessed' to my boss this week, i don't think he will be too impressed as there are a lot of other people on maternity leave at the moment but what can you do? Thankfully could hide behind the relative anonymity of email x
  • Congrats!  I'm thinking about coming out to my boss and clients in February.  There are a lot of people staring at my belly, so I doubt it'll be a big surprise.  I always just get nervous when I come out of the pregnancy closet.

  • Congrats! I told my coworkers the 1st week in January and they were thrilled! Today one of my students over heard me telling someone we were having a girl so she asked if I was pregnant! I shared it with her and I'm wondering how fast it will spread amongst the student body!
  • Congrats! Definitely a relief, I told my manager a bit back due to morning sickness, and his supportive response has been very helpful as I plan and am hoping for more flexibility. All the best to your DD on her birthday! :)
  • What a relief! Congrats!
  • congrats!  it feels good to come out!
  • Ahh doing this tomorrow :-<
  • Great for you! It is a huge lift off our shoulders when our boss is supportive.
  • What a relief to finally tell the boss and people at work.  Glad she is supportive!

  • I ended up telling my boss and coworkers a couple weeks before I wanted to because I had someone come up to tell me that she heard I was pregnant, and this was before I told anyone. I didn't want the rumor mill going, so I just told everyone on my own.
