My bladder is going to out me!

Jheaps

I'm 10 weeks and not planning to tell my boss for while.  I'm in the process of firing one of my employees, and the last thing we need is more office drama or people rethinking that decision when they find out I'll be on maternity leave come April.  My problem is that I have to pee ALL. THE. TIME.   I've probably peed five times in the 3 hours I've been in the office this morning.  My boss' office is right outside the bathroom, so she sees any time I go.

  How do I hide this?  Not drinking water is not an option; I'm really, really thirsty!

I used to sleep through the night but the last few nights my full bladder will wake me out of a deep sleep and I have the sudden urge to pee like a racehorse. Is there another bathroom in the building you can go to across the building or something?

Maybe just blame it on drinking lots of water throughout the day? I mean everyone has to pee a lot of they drink a whole lot of water.

If your boss says anything (which would be kind of weird), you can always just tell her that it's a medical issue.  You don't have to specify which medical issue. Further questions can be deflected with an "I'd honestly rather not talk about it, but don't worry, I'm consulting a doctor."  Totally honest response, and doesn't give away anything more than you want to tell.

All good suggestions. I'm not as concerned about her saying something as basically having a really, really strong hunch before I'm ready to announce. I guess though with my lack of drinking at several major work events, they've all got it figured out.

I was going to say that she probably already knows.
